Description
SAMHSA released its guide for families and communities, which provides considerations, programs, policies, and strategies for preventing marijuana use among youth ages 12 to 17. As marijuana legalization efforts and policies have increased, so has its availability and the prevalence of daily marijuana use among youth and young adults. Early marijuana use has been associated with negative impacts on brain development, increased risk of developing psychotic disorders and depression in adulthood, poor academic performance, increases in dropout rates, and risk for suicidal ideation and behavior. The well-documented adverse effects of marijuana on youth make prevention efforts a public health priority.
