Manage episode 421944556 series 2573669
If you were to guess where teen cannabis consumption was higher, would you assume states where weed is legal or illegal? The answer might surprise you! In today's episode, we tackle the tricky topic of talking to kids about weed. Navigating these conversations can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone. This episode provides a safe space to explore different perspectives and practical strategies from experts and parents across the country. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, and the same goes for talking to your kids about cannabis—we hope you’ll join us as we figure it out together!
“I'm sort of a hard line as a parent when it comes down to that sort of thing. You didn't leave bleach out. You don't leave the little pods for your dishwasher or your laundry machine. You put them away. And that's how I feel about prescription drugs, alcohol, how I feel about cannabis. I think that cannabis is just not that much different.” — Janet Matula
