This information is vital for today’s responsible policy making, mentoring, counseling and parenting. Here are just a few of the questions that will be answered:

• Is marijuana addictive? Is marijuana a gateway to other drug use?
• How potent is today’s marijuana compared to the 1970’s and why does it matter?
• How does marijuana use affect the teenage brain and their social/emotional development?
• How do we set boundaries and consequences for teens that are effective and realistic?
