Description
With vaping increasingly commonplace and recreational marijuana use normalized and promoted, young people face new and difficult pitfalls related to substance use and addiction. Misinformation and confusion persist around these topics, and debunked myths are taken as fact. Attendees at this seminar will learn to tell fact from fiction about vaping and marijuana, including the impact of the THC and nicotine industries on public perception and the implications of use on health. Attendees will also be presented with actionable tips for prevention, enabling everyone to feel they can do their part to turn the tide in this modern substance use epidemic.
