Talking to Kids About Drugs: Joe Eberstein's Practical Advice

If we stop a new generation of Americans from becoming addicted, we would end the epidemic.
Imagine trying to talk to your kids about drugs when you have a history with them yourself. It’s a tough conversation, but in this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev chats with Joe Eberstein, a California Certified Prevention Specialist, to help you navigate this tricky terrain. Joe has spent over 12 years working in drug prevention and is currently the Program Manager for the San Diego County Marijuana Prevention Initiative.
He’s got a wealth of experience and shares some eye-opening insights on how marijuana and vaping impact young people today. Joe explains the importance of understanding the adolescent brain and why it’s crucial to have these conversations early. He dives into the concept of anticipatory guidelines, which can help parents set clear expectations and boundaries before issues arise.
But it’s not just about setting rules; Joe stresses the importance of maintaining open lines of communication and human interaction, even in our increasingly virtual world. He also sheds light on how the marijuana industry uses medical labels to appeal to young people and the worrying link between marijuana use and suicide rates among young males. It’s a sobering discussion, but one filled with practical advice that any parent can use.
If you’re looking for ways to protect your kids from the dangers of drugs and addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
