    167: Weed's Legal. How Do I Talk With My Teen About It?
    Apr 23 2024
    How can adults steer teens away from marijuana in states where the drug is now legal? A parent writes in asking for guidance on raising teens in a community where pot use is wide-spread and normalized. To complicate matters, the parent uses recreational cannabis at home but worries, appropriately, about how early experimentation with the drug could compromise her teens’ safety and well-being. Dr. Lisa and Reena address several crucial questions: What are the risks associated with adolescent marijuana use? How do adults have effective conversations with teens about the potential harms of using pot? And how do we help our teens make good choices now that we are raising them in a cannabis-friendly world?

Wish I had this info years ago!

I am really enjoying the compromise approach for most issues. Learning how to let your child unload at the end of the day and not feel I have to fix every issue mentioned.
