Cannabis isn’t everywhere
But the confusion is

Your students are hearing a lot – from TikTok, from older siblings, from the internet. And most of it isn’t true.

“It’s basically legal now, right?”
“Medicinal = safe”
“Mixing it with alcohol balances you out”
“Weed isn’t addictive”


They’re not hearing the risks. Or the facts.

This free session helps educators unpack the most common myths around cannabis, so you can respond with confidence and clarity, not guesswork.
