Let’s face it, talking about marijuana with your kids can be a challenge. In Arizona and several other states, medical marijuana has been legalized, and a few states have recently legalized the sale of recreational marijuana. Marijuana use is becoming more normalized in society through social media and other means, and kids are hearing about newer ways to use it, like edible products, concentrates and vaporizers.
There is a resource that can help parents have meaningful conversations with their kids about marijuana, called the Marijuana Talk Kit. This tool is brought to you by our parent organization, the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids.
Inside the Marijuana Talk Kit, you will find:
· Facts about marijuana
· Why weed is still risky for teens
· Ways to talk with your teen about marijuana
· What you should - and shouldn't say - when talking with your teen
· How to respond to your teen’s questions and arguments
· Resources to help
The Marijuana Talk Kit will help guide you in this important conversation with your teen. Visit http://www.drugfree.org/MJTalkKit/ to download the kit.
