Community Voices

People from all backgrounds and all walks of life have been impacted by today’s marijuana. Teenagers, children, parents, teachers, activists– all of them have their stories. We want to share the powerful voices in our community to humanize the data behind marijuana prevention and inspire you to speak out and have an impact in your own community.

Community Voices: Whitney Yeager

When Whitney’s son Sammy tragically died after a terrifying THC-induced psychotic episode, she began to advocate for education surrounding marijuana and the potential mental health effects it can cause. She created the Sammy Project, a traveling photo exhibit to honor her son, de-stigmatize mental health, and help participants take agency over their own struggles.
