Marijuana and Teens: Unpacking the Myths and Realities

We're not having conversations about the cannabis plant... the actual risk associated with THC has increased dramatically, but the perceived risk associated with THC - cannabis - has decreased dramatically, and that's because it's a multi-billion dollar industry now.
Marijuana is more than just a hot topic in today's political landscape; it's a rapidly evolving substance with significant implications for teens and parents alike. In this episode of 'Prevent This!', the hosts dive into the shifting perceptions and realities surrounding marijuana use. They discuss how recent political changes and corporate interests have shaped public opinion, making cannabis seem less risky even as its potency has increased.
You'll hear about the dramatic changes in the cannabis plant itself, now more potent and varied than ever before, and why this makes understanding its effects crucial, especially for younger users. The episode doesn't shy away from the complexities of cannabis use disorder, a growing issue as marijuana becomes more mainstream. The hosts also highlight the dangers of vaping and concentrates, which add another layer of risk for teens.
But it's not all doom and gloom; they offer practical advice on how parents can talk to their kids about marijuana use and its potential downsides. With a mix of expert insights and relatable discussions, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to navigate the ever-changing landscape of marijuana use and its impact on young people.
