"It's Just Pot - What's The Problem?" - The Every Brain Matters Podcast
EVERY BRAIN MATTERS is a non-profit community developed by families negatively impacted by industrialized marijuana.
We reject the false narrative that marijuana is a harmless expression of personal freedom. Based on scientific evidence and personal stories, our position is that marijuana is a dangerous and addictive drug, and like all drugs of abuse, it can and is destroying lives.
Join us! We’re finding freedom from marijuana and the drug crisis.
*The words marijuana and cannabis are being used interchangeably.
We provide family recovery resources, including support meetings, to help prevent, manage, or recover from a loved one’s harmful cannabis use.
We advocate to protect communities from the predatory practices of the cannabis industry and stop harmful drug policies.
We are a trusted educational resource driven by science and lived experience. Please help us get this poster in every school.
