Science and the medical health professional have determined that marijuana use damages brain cells and stunts brain development in youth and teens under the age of 25. Let's unite as the Glenarden community and the "GOGO 2 PREVENT project stand together in support of changing the perceptions on youth and teen marijuana use.
