As always grown ups, we are always here to answer any questions you may have.

Since Connecticut approved recreational marijuana use for adults (21+) over the summer, it is important to understand the short and long-term implications that this has for the adolescents in our community.

Parents and grownups, let's get into the nitty gritty and start focusing on prevention. Check out the LinkTree in our bio and head on over to Facebook for our preferred resource for educating caregivers! 💜
