Pelham Together Spotlight Youth Marijuana Use: What Do We Know and What Should We Do?

A recent webinar, hosted by KNOW2PREVENT, was incredibly informative and balanced in its delivery, focusing on the facts and ways to talk to our kids about the use of marijuana. With legalization, the perception of risk of using marijuana varies widely, and there are many complicated issues related to decriminalization and commercialization. 

This webinar addressed those issues, as well as the risks for teens, and how to talk about all of this with your teen.  Resources for further information were also provided.  

The recording of the event is available at https://pelhamtogether.org/blog/2023/2/14/youth-marijuana-use-what-do-we-know-and-what-can-we-do, and you can access the presentation slides here https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5be5a23629711449ca99504e/t/63ebc31215e6937c334ecee7/1676395285039/Slide+Deck+-+Dr.+Kevin+Gray.pdf.

In addition, see images of various edibles being sold in pirated packaging, making it very difficult to tell a regular bag of Doritos or Lifesaver gummies from ones with THC.
