My name is Rachel James-Bailey and I’m part of a small team making a new documentary about cannabis for BBC3.
I am very keen to talk to a wide range of people who use the drug, and have various different opinions on it. Whether you smoke it socially, for medicinal reasons or you've even had a go at growing it, then I want to hear from you.
Our film will explore what it’s like to be a cannabis user in Britain today. We want to show the truth, and not the usual stereotypes that other parts of the media often portray. Hopefully with the help of genuine users, growers, and other people who smoke cannabis recreationally we can reflect more accurately what the ups and, admittedly in some cases, the possible downs of using cannabis can be like.
I can assure you this film will be intelligent and thoughtful. We want to give cannabis users the chance to have their thoughts and feelings expressed in a fair and balanced way.
I’m also aware that when it comes to filming some people might prefer to remain anonymous, which is certainly something we can consider. That's a long way down the line, but we can support you if that's something that you want.
If you'd like to know more about the project, or want to discuss your experiences then please get in touch. PM me here or email me on

Thanks,
Rachel.
