About This Course

Marijuana use among youth is the highest it has been in over 30 years. There has been an increase in not only the monthly use of cannabis among kids, but their daily use has grown substantially as well. Ongoing research tells us that the regular use of marijuana can have a substantial impact on physical and mental health, both over the short and long term.  This workshop will:
