Dear Friend, 

As I am sure you know, there are many myths that are being perpetuated by the marijuana industry and its supporters when it comes to how legalization and commercialization affect youth use of the drug. 

This is why I am so looking forward to next week's webinar with my good friend and SAM Executive Vice President, Luke Niforatos. 

Over the course of this webinar, we will dive headfirst into the data to put the myth that legalization and commercialization has not resulted in a rise in youth use of marijuana and discuss the potential ramifications of continued commercialization and normalization.  

Click the ticket below to register for the webinar if you haven't yet done so. If you have, I look forward to seeing you all on Friday! 



Thanks for all that you do, 

Dr. Kevin Sabet
President & CEO

Marijuana Legalization: The Impact on Youth

Please join Dr. Kevin Sabet, president of SAM and Luke Niforatos, SAM Executive Vice President, for the August 7th webinar: Marijuana Legalization: The Impact on Youth.

Today's marijuana is much more potent than in the past. Marijuana in the Woodstock era contained 5% THC. By comparison, today's pot edibles, candies, cookies, ice creams, and waxes contain as much as 99% THC. 

What lessons have we learned from how legalizing these high-THC products have impacted our youth? Luke Niforatos from SAM will walk parents through the latest statistics and facts on what is really happening in legalized states, so you can make informed decisions and discuss these issues intelligently with your children.
 
Learning Objectives:
  • Understand the negative mental health outcomes of children who smoke marijuana
     
  • Recognize how smoking marijuana has been proven to impact school performance
     
  • Learn how children end up in the emergency room from using marijuana products
     
  • Explore the ramifications of stoned teen driving
     
  • See the link between parental marijuana usage and adolescent usage

    Upon request, a certificate of attendance will be made available at the completion of the webinar.
