Community Talk: Marijuana, Teens, and Tomorrow
About this Event
Join us for a powerful and eye-opening event focused on youth cannabis/marijuana use in our community on Wednesday, November 18th from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Crivitz High School auditorium.
We’ll begin with a screening of Cannabis-Induced Psychosis: A Silent Epidemic — a compelling documentary that pulls back the curtain on a crisis that too often goes unnamed. Told through the voices of young people who have lived through psychosis and the parents who tried to hold them together, the film offers an unflinching look at how high-potency THC can fracture lives and upend futures.
Families share their hardest moments as they search for help and face a system with few answers, while doctors provide clinical insight and young people reflect on what it felt like to lose touch with reality—and how they found their way back.
This film is provided by the nonprofit Johnny’s Ambassadors as a community service to raise public awareness about the dangers of youth THC use.
Panel Discussion & Q&A
Following the 45-minute documentary, stay for a community panel featuring law enforcement representatives and local agency professionals.
Panelists will discuss marijuana-related issues in Marinette and Menominee Counties and provide their expertise and education related to the topic within their professional field. A short Q&A session will follow the panel discussion.
Who Should Attend?
Event is targeted towards parents, caregivers, educators, youth-serving agency staff, and adult community members. Due to the sensitive nature of the documentary, event is open to students, but has an age requirement of 13 and up WITH a parent/guardian in attendance.
