Culture of Moderation
Too much of
a good thing
is not always
a good thing.
Embrace moderation.
Whether it’s snacks, video games, or social media, we all have things that bring us comfort.
But as with any type of consumption, too much of a good thing is not always a good thing.
That’s where moderation comes in.
Moderation isn’t about stopping or quitting – it’s about finding a balance, and knowing your limits. The same principles that apply to eating or shopping also apply to drinking, gambling and cannabis.

It starts with self-awareness.
How well do you know your own habits? Have they changed over time? The first step in moderation is assessing what your regular levels of consumption or activity are, and whether or when they are increasing.
Research shows that people are drinking, gambling or using cannabis more frequently – and more often than not, they’re doing it alone, which can lead to increased levels of consumption.

Practicing moderation with others.
Introducing moderation into your life can sometimes be challenging – especially when those around you don’t feel the same way about it.
Whether you’re trying to moderate your own habits or supporting a friend or family member, it’s easier when everyone’s on the same page. Fostering a supportive environment where people feel comfortable and empowered to make choices that are right for them is key to making moderation easier for everyone.

Moderation makes sense.
You don’t need to push your mind, body and budget to the limit to have a good time. A society that practices moderation is healthier, more supportive and more sustainable. And you can be a part of this by practicing moderation in your own life and encouraging others to do the same.
