The teenagers of 2020 are growing up in a very different world of weed than any generation that came before. Today, young people who want to try marijuana can get ahold of much higher-potency bud than ever had before. They can buy ready-made infused brownies or gummies, they can dab 90% THC concentrates, and they can take a few sublingual drops without anyone knowing. In the coming years, they will be the youngest customers at legal marijuana shops in dozens of states.

So how does pot impact teenage brains and lives? How can young people make good choices in the era of legal marijuana? And how can parents talk to their kids about cannabis?
This episode host Brit Smith talks to Sarah Coughlin and Mswati Hanks of the Charlestown Coalition, an organization connected to Mass. General Hospital that supports youth in central Boston going through drug and alcohol recovery. Learn more at charlestowncoalition.org.
