Description
 Many parents believe that marijuana is a “safe, herbal, medical, good pain reliever.” Dr. Ken Finn seeks to bust that myth in this webinar, where you’ll be provided with the correct information about medical marijuana use. Many teens in turn have the perception that it’s a good pain reliever, so they begin using it due to that false narrative. This webinar will provide the science and Dr. Finn’s experience around the harms to adolescents who get a medical marijuana card.
