Greater Falls Connections will be hosting a monthly coalition meeting from 12-1:00pm on Friday, November 16 at Parks Place at 44 School St in Bellows Falls. The theme of the meeting is Marijuana: How the Cannabis Conversation Has Changed.
The legalization of marijuana in Vermont that went into effect in July provides us with the opportunity to discuss the evolving trends related to marijuana. We invite providers and parents to discuss how to engage community members in having cannabis conversations that help us all be prepared to have effective conversations about responsible adult-use and the dangers of youth use of marijuana now that it is legal for those 21 and older.
Our main goal is to focus on what we can all do to prevent youth use and how to protect vulnerable populations given this new landscape. Greater Falls Connections will include information on smoking, edibles, hash oil, vaping, and infused product, and explore opinions on large-scale, commercial marijuana in Vermont.
The monthly coalition meetings for Greater Falls Connections provide information on issues related to substance abuse prevention and updates on our work. Meetings are free and open to everyone. Lunch will be provided. Prevention through inspiration!
