Missouri voters have decided in favor of a ballot initiative (Amendment 3) legalizing the possession, consumption, cultivation, and licensed retail sale of cannabis for those ages 21 and older. See comments for more info about the conversation every parent needs to have!

[Addiction Is Real @addictisreal]

Please sit down with your kids and have an open dialogue about the legalization of cannabis for recreational use. Listen to their points of view and help clear up any misconceptions.

[Addiction Is Real @addictisreal]

A few points to note:
•Just because something is legal, doesn’t mean that it isn’t harmful.

•There is an age restriction of 21 for cannabis and alcohol because those under the age of 21 are at far higher risk and more susceptible to brain changes and negative effects.
