Using cannabis can have harmful effects on your own health, as well as your relationships, and your child’s health and development.

Driving after using cannabis is illegal and it more than doubles your chance of motor vehicle collision. It is just as bad as drinking and driving. If you choose to use cannabis, be smart about it and don’t drive high.

Talking to your child or teen about marijuana can be challenging, but talking openly with your child, letting them know they can talk to you about cannabis, and being non-judgmental will go a long way.
