Announcement: The Other Side of Cannabis
Thursday, March 31, 6:30-8:30 p.m. film and panel: Bert Klavens, Dr. William Nowlan, Debby Haskins
Montpelier High School auditorium
With support from MSMS Parent Advisory Group and MHS Boosters
The
Other Side of Cannabis, is an independent film project created to reach
out to youth, parents, educators, and concerned community members to
bring attention to the negative effects of marijuana on adolescents,
teenagers and young adults whose brains are still forming. In order to
make an informed decision to use marijuana, it is important to know the
potential risks. This film is not about legalization nor medicinal
treatments. The message that marijuana is safe, natural and harmless as a
recreational substance must be weighed against the evidence of
associated risks as presented by users and family members concerned
about some of the effects—teen dependence, depression and psychosis.This film is appropriate for ages 12 and up. Middle school children should be accompanied by an adult for followup discussion.

This 2016 film and presentation series is organized by Central Vermont New Directions Coalition, working with community partners, the Vermont Department of Health, Washington County Youth Service Bureau and the statewide organization Prevention Works!VT, to educate the community about current substance abuse issues, the impact, and resources for help.
Event is free and open to the public. Donations accepted.
