We know the cannabis industry has targeted youth. From engaging students with stimulating Canva slides to a perceptive take-home discussion guide, this lesson uses the Positive Youth Development framework to teach middle school students about these cannabis industry tactics, with the ultimate goal to increase resistance skills to these marketing influences and prevent and reduce use. Students in 6th-8th grades will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to decode external marketing tactics that encourage young consumers to use cannabis products.

We suggest providing students with the Discussion Guide that they can take home and discuss with a trusted adult such as a parent/caregiver, coach, mentor, and/or a peer.
We suggest you end with a Kahoot, which can be found and easily linked to in the last slide of this lesson OR using the link above.
