“Cannabis (it’s complicated, especially for kids!)”
Thank you to the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District and their ARCH program for hosting us online!
Our panelists addressed the results of a recent survey taken by TESD students. We presented information about the effects of increased THC levels, social norms, availability, and the impact on a young, developing brain.
We also learned how parents and educators can have meaningful conversations with young people that provide support and understanding.
