More and more states are decriminalizing and legalizing cannabis for recreational use. Cannabis education is increasingly important as perceptions of the risk associated with cannabis use change. Cannabis use can severely impact you and those around you. It can lead to psychosis, impair learning, cause problems later in life, impair driving ability, and more. Educate your students about marijuana and how to make responsible choices about marijuana use by having them take our course Cannabis Wise or Marijuana-Wise HS.
Cannabis Wise is designed to dispel common myths about cannabis, clarify understanding about THC vs CBD in cannabis, challenge expectancies related to THC use and reduce high-risk behavior. Fully-researched, evidence-based information allows students to objectively view cannabis use. Personalized feedback integrated through eCHECKUP TO GO tailors the course to each student and ensures engagement.
