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: Winnie

Winnie’s son was a normal, healthy teenager involved in clubs and sports, and an excellent student. However, when he started using marijuana, his family began to notice mental health symptoms develop to the point where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and attempted suicide. While he thankfully survived, he continues to deal with the ramifications of his suicide attempt and marijuana usage.
