The Dangerous Truth About Marijuana
"You wouldn't understand, you don't know what it is like to be a teenager!" Has your student ever uttered this phrase to you? Today's teens are facing new and sometimes dangerous challenges that we never have. One of these "new" challenges is the potential exposure and use of high potency THC marijuana products. Students may turn to substance use as a measure to cope with the stressors that they experience in their lives, without fully understanding the severe consequences of their actions. We invite our community to learn more about the high potency THC marijuana products and their detrimental effects on the developing teenage brain from guest speaker, Laura Stark, who tragically lost her high school aged son after a psychotic break from using high potency THC marijuana.
