Jody Boulay: 'With the broad reach that social media has, this is something that parents should be aware of and have constructive conversations with their kids about marijuana and its associated risks.'
Small conversations about marijuana make a big impression. Consider some of the following pointers:
Show disapproval for underage drinking, marijuana use, and other drug use. Reinforce why it is essential to avoid using drugs and alcohol. Ideally, it is better to have these conversations before they are exposed to drugs or alcohol, but this is not always possible. Parents significantly in their children’s decisions to use drugs or alcohol. These conversations can help prevent drug use altogether.
The adverse effects can include difficulty thinking and problem-solving, problems with memory and learning, reduced coordination, difficulty maintaining attention and issues with school and social life. It can also lead to mental health issues and addiction.
