Also coming up… Marijuana – Parenting for Prevention in 2020 Monday, April 27 2020 2pm-3pm ETParents face more challenges than ever in having effective prevention conversations with their teens around marijuana use. Even though this drug is more potent than ever, perception of harm is at an all-time low due to legalization, medicinal use and methods of ingesting like vaping and edibles which seem so much easier and more palatable.
