Now is the right time to become more attuned to the messages your child receives about cannabis, the impacts on your child, and how you can shape the messages you send in the future to encourage healthy choices. Peer pressure to try cannabis does not typically begin until ages 15-19. Yet, children receive messages and view modeling throughout their childhood that will have a significant impact on whether or not they will be ready to make responsible choices regarding cannabis in years to come.  As a parent or those in a parenting role, what you model and the messages you send in your child’s younger years related to cannabis can prepare them for success throughout their lifetime.
