A Research-Based Campaign to Educate About the Dangers of Marijuana for Our Youth and Our Communities

There’s much talk, and much misinformation, about medical and recreational marijuana in the media and in public discussion. There seems to be very little focus on the many unforeseen negative consequences of marijuana for our youth and communities.

Welcome toMobilizing Michigan

Protecting Our Kids from Marijuana

Let's Start the Conversation!

The Mobilizing Michigan … Protecting Our Kids from Marijuana Campaign was created by the Chippewa Valley Coalition for Youth and Families, a school-community coalition in central Macomb County, Michigan, and the Macomb County Community Mental Health – Office of Substance Abuse (MCOSA).
