What do you envision when you think of teens - perhaps even your
teen - using marijuana? Are they with friends and sharing a
joint?
The reality may surprise you.
Today's marijuana is more discreet and more potent. It can be in
the form of a vape, which may be flavored. It can even be in the form
of gummy bears or other familiar candies and snacks. Vaping,
flavorings and edibles make it easy for kids to hide their use, and
it's also easier to overconsume. In fact, with?marijuana
edibles?such as baked goods or candy, it can take much longer to
feel an effect compared to smoking marijuana. Kids may overindulge to
feel the effects more quickly - with harmful results.?
Marijuana, no matter how it is used, harms teen health. The health
effects are the same whether marijuana is smoked, vaporized or
swallowed.
