More than one in five parents of teens believe that what they say has little influence on whether their child will use drugs or alcohol.
Teens report their parents’ beliefs around drugs and alcohol have the most influence on their choices.
The conversation around marijuana and teenagers comes down to strong communication skills and sticking to the facts.
The main points I tend to discuss with my teens and highlight are:
1. Marijuana poses risks despite what teens or our culture may say or believe.
2. Data shows “marijuana is not as safe as it once was.”
3. Marijuana poses specific risks to the developing teen brain.
4. Marijuana poses specific risks to the teen’s mental health.
5. Earlier use of marijuana poses a greater risk for cognitive decline.
