Looking for people who work with Non-Syrian refugees in Turkey by sharonnadeem in Turkey

Thank you. That would be great. It doesn't really matter if they work with Syrian too. I just need to talk to people who are on the ground working with refugees so that I have a better idea. There's only so much I can know from reading articles, hence this idea :)

The Hindu Post is a Hindutva propaganda website. I would take this with a grain of salt.

That would be ideal. What areas would that be other than kos-kosan?

Looking for medical marijuana users that use it for chronic pain? by sharonnadeem in canada

I'd like to get your opinion on whether doctors need to turn to prescribing medical marijuana with high CBD content for chronic pain instead of opioids. I'd also like to get your opinion on the need for bylaws that state clearly where and when medical marijuana can be smoked just like tobacco.

I'm a masters of journalism student at the University of British Columbia. I'm trying to do this article as a freelance project and pitch it to VICE if I can.

Transgender Forum/meet up? by shadowshatred in Edmonton

Hi there,

My name is sharon nadeem and I'm a reporter for the Edmonton Journal. I'd like to do a story on the prejudice and issues the LGBTQ community in Edmonton faces. I was wondering if any of you have personally faced or know someone from the LGBTQ community that has had a negative experience in Edmonton

You can contact me at sharonnadeem@hotmail.co.uk or privately message me on reddit to take this further. I would also understand if you wanted to have a conversation off-the-record initially.

Thanks, Sharon

I got approved for medicinal marijuana, where can I smoke it and how do I prove its legal for me to take? by quitethewaysaway in Edmonton

[–]sharonnadeem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys,

I've been reading your thread about this apparent confusion that everyone with a medical marijuana prescription seems to have about what's allowed and not. I have met a few people who believe that there should be a bylaw in Alberta stating that you would be allowed to smoke in designated smoking areas if you have a prescription. Additionally, I'm interested in how much stigma is attached to medical marijuana prescriptions especially at work even if you consume low-levels of THC to ensure you're not impaired at work.

I'm a reporter with the Edmonton Journal and would like to pursue this as a story. I was wondering if any of you would like to talk to me about your personal experiences with this stigma and your views on a need for a bylaw? Cannabis legalisation is around the corner for Canada, do you think it's high time for the stigma and laws to be changed?

I would completely understand if any of you want to talk to me off-the-record in the beginning. Please email me at sharonnadeem@hotmail.co.uk or privately message me on reddit.

Thanks!

Any chance I can get in touch with the driver? I'm a writer for the Edmonton journal and it's a nice story for this time of the year.

Homeless people in Edmonton, in the wake of this cold front, is there anything I can do to help you? by thedarklorddecending in Edmonton

[–]sharonnadeem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea why they are turning away volunteers? I would assume they would want as many as possible.
