Cannabis [Decoded]
If you haven’t checked out San Mateo County’s new marijuana
education initiative, led by and created for youth, be sure to
head to cannabisdecoded.org today. The
website features information for teens and parents that helps
users “crack the code” and get the facts they need to make
decisions about cannabis use.
An accompanying Instagram account @Cannabis_Decoded
shares what it looks like when San Mateo County
youth forsake cannabis in pursuit of life’s “natural highs.”
