Share new products on marijuana and opioids to encourage parents and caregivers to talk with their children—short, everyday conversations work best.

TALK ABOUT MARIJUANA

Marijuana use in any form is not safe for a child’s brain development. Parents should know the risks of marijuana use and start talking with their children about them early on.

TALK ABOUT OPIOIDS

More than half of people ages 12 and older have obtained prescription pain medication for nonmedical use from a friend or relative.1 Parents should talk with their children about the dangers of taking prescription pain relievers that don’t belong to them and help them develop an “exit plan” if they are offered medication that isn’t theirs.
