Drug Foundation worried about drug use on social media

From Midday Report, 12:47 pm on 27 January 2022

The Drug Foundation wants adults to have open and honest conversations with young people about portrayals of drug use on social media.

Australian researchers looked at TikTok where a third of the users are under 14-years-old.

They found more than half of the cannabis-related content on the platform portrayed the drug in a positive light. 

The Drug Foundation's executive director Sarah Helm spoke to Māni Dunlop.
