In this episode of, Let’s Get Clear,  Monica Pina, SVP of Investor Relations for Cliintel Capital Clients continues the candid conversation with teenagers about their perspectives on underage drug use.  

The discussion unfolds into a conversation about the prevalence of rumors regarding products that can induce a high. The teens share their insights on the presence of such substances at school and the impact of anti-drug programs, including mandatory assemblies. 

One teen highlights the closure of bathrooms due to concerns about vaping and drug use, expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of traditional approaches. Another suggests that relatable speakers, such as former addicts or fellow students, could make a more significant impact in conveying the dangers of substance use. 

The conversation explores the lack of specificity of school programs, noting that the generic "just say no" message is not enough. Teens express skepticism about the effectiveness of such school programs, emphasizing the need for more meaningful discussions that address real-world scenarios. 

The teens share their perspectives on peer pressure, indicating that saying "no" is generally respected, and that people are more embarrassed about drug use than proud of it. The discussion also touches upon the impact of having a parent working in the cannabis industry, acknowledging a more positive view toward cannabis due to familiarity. 

The podcast concludes with insight that the decision to use or abstain from substances is influenced more by individual factors than by information provided in school assemblies. The teens emphasize the importance of personal experiences, health considerations, and the pursuit of personal goals in shaping their views on drug use.
