How does recreational legalization impact youth cannabis use?

Join us on June 29, 2017 12:00-1:00pm (Eastern Time) for the webinar, Talking to Teens in the Era of Recreational Cannabis Legalization. Cannabis legalization was approved in Massachusetts in 2016. Many individuals who care for or work with youth have questions about how this will affect youth use and what they should be doing. In this one hour webinar, we will discuss the effects of legalization on youth use based on other states experiences. We will suggest pathways to optimize youth health and well-being.

This webinar was developed by Boston Medical Center (BMC), Clinical Addiction Research and Education (CARE) Unit.
