COMMUNITY EVENTS

 

Cannabis and Teen Health Free Webinar

November 7
Noon
Online

With recreational marijuana use continuing to be normalized and promoted, teens are more and more often faced with opportunities to use THC products. Misinformation and confusion persist around the risks of THC on the developing body and mind, as debunked myths about cannabis echo from the halls of high school to the halls of Congress.

Join Dr. Aaron Weiner and GNCY for an exploration of the current science related to the risks of teen THC use, as well as actionable steps parents can take to prepare their teens best to make decisions in challenging social situations related to whether or not to use cannabis products.
