MARIJUANA FORUM
Marijuana Legalization: Let’s Talk About Youth PreventionRecreational marijuana is the law of the land in Massachusetts. However, the law still prohibits persons under 21 from using marijuana for recreational purposes. Community leaders across Boston will come together at this event to learn about the new marijuana legislation and approaches to prevent youth marijuana use. Information shared at the event is intended to increase perception of harm around youth marijuana use, shift community norms related to marijuana use and decrease access/availability of marijuana to youth. The event is a part of the Focus on Prevention series brought to you by the Boston Substance Abuse Prevention Collaborative.
Registration can be completed through our Eventbrite page.
