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).
The Mobilizing Michigan – Protecting Our Kids from Marijuana Campaign Tool Kit
