Governor Jay Inslee
proclaimed today, April 20, 2016, as "Talk With Your Kids About NOT Using Marijuana Day".
Parents have the greatest influence on a child's decision about drugs, including marijuana and alcohol. In fact, teens who learn about the risks from their parents are 50% less likely to use drugs than kids who do not.
The
Start Talking Now website provides parents with information about how to start the conversation about drugs. A
parent guide produced by Seattle Children's Hospital provides parents with information about how to help their children make healthy decisions, including the decision not to use drugs.
