The presenters will address the potency of today's cannabis, other substances, impaired driving and more, with a special focus on teens and emerging adults. They will also provide a tour of a Mock Teen Bedroom, which helps adults to identify signs of substance abuse and trends that put kids at risk, such as cannabis, vaping and alcohol.
