The Montgomery Rocky Hill Municipal Alliance recently hosted a virtual presentation, "Marijuana- Know the Facts!" which can be viewed on YouTube at this link (or search MontyTown for our YouTube channel):
Jerri Collevechio from Prevention Resources gives us the information we need to know when it comes to the risks of marijuana. She shares the most recent scientific data regarding cannabis use, and how cannabis use impacts our health and well-being. It is critically important that parents and young adults know the facts about marijuana and this presentation helps inform and prepare people to talk to their family members about the risks.
Marijuana use is at its highest level in 30 years. A recent study found that more than one in 10 (11%) young adults aged 19-30 reported using marijuana on a daily basis in 2021 and more than two in five (43%) had used it in the past year. Rates of daily marijuana use nearly doubled over the past 10 years for this age group and past-year use jumped nearly 50%.
