Description

In May 2023, the Substance and Addiction Prevention Branch hosted a webinar, “Youth Cannabis Education and Prevention Campaign & Your Part,” which presented current California Department of Public Health (CDPH) campaigns targeting youth ("Mind Over Marijuana") and parents/guardians ("Let's Talk Cannabis") and offered related resources for local implementation. The "Cannabis Corner" training series expands on this topic with two episodes: the first establishes the foundational role of public health in community health and explores the link between cannabis legislation and population health; the second provides a historical overview of cannabis use, policy, and culture in the U.S., along with an introduction to the American cannabis industry.
