Trying to figure out how to navigate cannabis legalization with your tween or teenager? Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is holding two information sessions this week specifically for parents.

The drug becomes legal in Ontario this Wednesday, and the city's public health agency is bringing together officials from the four school boards, Ottawa police, the city's bylaw department and Rideauwood Addictions and Family Services to talk about what to expect.

The discussion will include a general chat about what cannabis is, what it does and how it's consumed, how to reduce risks, an outline of federal and provincial cannabis legislation, what's legal and what's not, how it will be enforced (especially on the roads), what resources are available in schools, and more.


The first OPH session for parents, which is in French, takes place Monday at Collège catholique Franco-Ouest on Seyton Drive from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The second session, in English, takes place Thursday at St. Paul Catholic High School on Draper Avenue from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Marino Francispillai, the program manager of school, community and mental health and wellness at OPH, said by phone that they're trying to get across four main points to youths:

  1. "If you're not using, don't start, because even though it's legal, it's not safe."
  2. "If you're thinking of using, we're saying delay your use ... because we know that brain development continues into your mid-20s and you still have changes in structure and function that are caused by cannabis use while the brain is developing. We also know that there is more risk of mental illness being triggered as well as an increased risk of dependence and addictions with youth that start using cannabis in their adolescence."
  3. "If you're using, we're offering the information on how to reduce your risk ... basically ideas like if you're going to use it, try not to smoke it ... start slow and go low in terms of how much you're using."
  4. "And if you're ready to stop, there's help. In Ottawa we're lucky that we have a lot of services in place ... at different points in the system to make sure youth have access to be able to get support to stop using."
While the sessions are best suited to parents of tweens and teens, parents of children in elementary school are welcome as well, Francispillai said.

“如果你不使用,不要开始,因为即使它是合法的,也不安全。”

“如果您正在考虑使用,我们会说延迟您的使用......因为我们知道大脑发育持续到您20多岁的时候,您仍然会在使用大麻时导致结构和功能发生变化 我们还知道,在青春期开始使用大麻的青少年中,有更多患精神疾病的风险以及青少年依赖和成瘾的风险增加。“

“如果你正在使用,我们会提供有关如何降低风险的信息...基本上是你要使用它的想法,尽量不吸烟......开始慢而且低 你用了多少钱。“

“如果你准备停下来,那就有帮助。在渥太华,我们很幸运,我们有很多服务......在系统的不同点,以确保年轻人有机会获得支持 停止使用。“

面对孩子,总算还有敢说出真相的啊。

以前不抽烟的 现在不会抽
以前不吸大麻的 合法也不会抽
保护好孩子, 别让他们抽烟喝酒吸毒, 合法不合法不是条件也不是理由
 
错过了。还有吗?
