THC 101 is a personalized, interactive cannabis intervention course with versions designed for both adults and juveniles in courts, middle and high schools, and colleges.

THC 101 is geared toward individuals with violations such as marijuana possession, selling marijuana, or drugged driving. The course includes multiple lessons addressing THC’s effects on health, changes in cannabis and it’s potency, driving under the influence, state-specific laws, and drug interactions.

Integrating the eCHECKUP TO GO brief intervention for cannabis into the course, THC 101 also includes a 30-day follow-up to measure changes in individuals’ attitudes and behavior. Individuals receive a confidential profile that summarizes personal cannabis-related problems, compares use habits with social norms, challenges personal expectancies, and provides a range of strategies for changing behavior and reducing use.
