Marijuana Awareness Project

PASAGE Saint John IncPASAGE SaintPASAGE Saint John announces the Marijuana Awareness Project, which was made possible through a financial contribution from Health Canada.

This innovative project is aimed at helping youth to make more informed choices about their health and well being through education, personal empowerment, and prevention. We have seen increasing levels of marijuana use among our local youth. Society has glamorized and normalized the use of marijuana. It is our hope that raising awareness will enhance knowledge of the effects of marijuana.

• Almost 50% of grade 12 students report that they have tried pot at least once. Even more alarming is that nearly half of these students develop into frequent users.
