Youth and Families’ Prevention Education
Christian Addictions Recovery Ministries SocietyTeenage Marijuana Users
With the legalization of marijuana, and since the Covid 19 pandemic began, we have seen an 86.6% rise in marijuana use in BC. National health research shows that teenage marijuana users (aged 12-17) have double the prevalence of a use disorder (addiction) than nicotine, alcohol, and, in most categories of users, even prescription drug misusers.

‘“Research confirms that participation in effective prevention programs can cut drug use in half…These reductions (in both the prevalence and incidence), are primarily with respect to tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use’… And, ‘Prevention programs successful in reducing and/or preventing the number of individuals who abuse alcohol and drugs, contribute to reductions in later delinquency.” (Public Safety Canada Report, 1995)
“Train a youth in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not swerve from it.”
