FAMILY RESOURCE: Marijuana Facts Teens & Parents Need To Know

As the government pushes a soft line on drugs, including a referendum to legalise cannabis, our young people will be receiving conflicting messages about the safety of drugs, and that drug use is ‘normal’ and not that harmful.

And as parents, you may be unsure how to tackle this during the family discussions that are sure to arise at the dinner table. The pro-cannabis lobby are working hard to ensure that you are not made fully aware of just what the marijuana industry could and would do in New Zealand if they were given the welcome mat.

So we’ve found two great resources – a resource for parents, and a resource you can give to your son or daughter. They have been published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. So – way more reliable than the Drug Foundation and Helen Clark’s propaganda.
