Marijuana: What’s the Big Deal?

This interactive workshop will allow participants to discuss the opinions that are most commonly shared among young people who have a low perception of risk regarding marijuana. The roundtable discussions will be followed by five targeted facts about the impact of this drug on the brain, mental health issues, use by teens, medicinal efficacy, and public health.
