Now is the right time to gain a better awareness of the messages your child is receiving about cannabis, the impacts on your child, and how you can shape the messages you send in the future to encourage healthy choices. Though children are usually not tempted by peer pressure to try cannabis until ages 15-19, they still receive messages and view modeling throughout their childhood that will have a significant impact on whether or not they will be able to make responsible decisions regarding cannabis. As a parent or those in a parenting role, the messages you send and what you model in your child’s early years related to cannabis can prepare them for success.
