Welcome to Stanford REACH Lab's Cannabis Awareness & Prevention Toolkit!

Theory-based and evidence-informed resources created by educators, parents, and researchers aimed at preventing middle and high school students' use of cannabis/marijuana. 

What's a toolkit?

Toolkits are developed by the Stanford REACH Lab and comprise of a collection of curriculums, lessons, programs, and resources catered to a specific topic. While there are some crossovers between toolkits, our intent is to keep everything packaged and easy for educators, parents, and the like to navigate our resources.
