From the youth center to the club: how to reinvent cannabis care from the community
In this talk we explore how the Lonjalaket model can inspire new forms of care, prevention and risk reduction in Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs), with the support of the Basque Government. Lonjalaket was born as a community program for young people and today is reinvented and adapted through a cannabis lens. We will share how this experience can bring prevention, support and care within the CSCs, strengthening the role of the community.
