Description: Let's talk Cannabis.
As recreational cannabis becomes legal in Manitoba, many people are still unsure of its effect on the body. To effectively integrate the legalization of marijuana into our community and ensure the health and safety of our young people, it’s important to share information and have open conversations with one another.
Your teen years are a time in your life where you’re forced to make important decisions, decisions that will bring you one step closer to reaching your goals. It’s important to understand how using marijuana while your brain is still growing and developing –– up until your mid-twenties –– can get in the way of you experiencing the moments that matter most. It’s important to be educated and informed when it comes to cannabis use so that you can successfully overcome challenges and reach your goals.
Despite a decrease in cannabis use among youth in recent years, marijuana remains the most commonly used illicit drug among Canadian youth ages 15 to 24. You owe it to the young people in your life to talk about cannabis, its health effects and the consequences of underage use. Whether you’re a parent, teacher or coach, it’s time to start talking. Your words have power and keeping an open line of communication can help your teen make confident decisions in their lives.
