Youth and cannabis: Does legal mean safe?

March 4, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

| Free
To a young person, Canada’s move to legalize cannabis may look like an endorsement of a “safe” drug. This series of presentations will look at both long-standing research on the effects of cannabis on youth, as well as recent studies on the impacts of legalization on use patterns among young people. What are the many myths associated with cannabis and how can parents, teachers and youth-serving agencies talk about cannabis effectively with youth populations?

Cornett Building (Room A120), University of Victoria

Host: Frederick Grouzet, Department of Psychology and Centre for Youth and Society

Presenters: Bonnie Leadbeater, Paweena Sukhawathanakul, Megan Ames and Frederick Grouzet (Department of Psychology)
