THCYM | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS FEAT. PAUL DILLON

This is without a doubt one of the best episodes on THCYM.
Paul Dillon joins me on the pod. Paul is an author, educator, podcaster with podcast ‘The real deal on drugs’ AND ‘Doing drugs with Paul Dillon’. Paul has been in the area of drug education for almost 30 years and is the owner of DARTA (Drug and Alcohol Research and Training). Paul travels around Australia and other countries presenting to organisations and schools and educating people on drugs. I can't express how much I learnt from Paul during this chat. Not only about the content itself, but how important it is to get the messaging right and how much I can improve here too (always learning my guyssss!!)
We covered so much that I have to put it here in dot point form:
Alcohol and the adolescent brain
Binge drinking 
Is there a better way to drink or do drugs?
Females, the menstrual cycle and alcohol
What is the 'danger day'?
Male vs. Female and alcohol
Portable breathalysers 
Why shouldn't you take a drunk person to the bathroom?
Key issues in the most recent National Drug Strategy Household Survey
Vaping and what we do now
What are Zyns? 
Prepare your brains and enjoy everyone!!!!

HOW'S YA HEAD | NEVER FORGET TO WALK THE DOG

Hello ello how are we everyone!!!
Today we have the wonderful Q (or Keiran) in the studio for an honest chat about parenthood, golf and feeling like you're not doing enough. Q is a host of the Tee It Up Podcast and a professional drug dealer (works in pharmaceutical sales xx). We talk about how Q feels about the fact he's about to become a dad and how absolutely wild that experience can be for those who are not carrying the child. We talk about exercise and how this is the catalyst for Q being his best (and that dogs are the answer to our problems). This was a really fun and lovely chat and I'm super grateful for Q for coming on. Hope you love it!!
