EXPERT KEEPING IT REAL WITH POT FACTS FOR GEAUGA TEENS

Wide-ranging information on marijuana and its effects will be offered to groups of Geauga County students during the program "The Reality of Marijuana Use in the U.S." taking place Thursday at Auburn Career Center.

Twenty percent of students in grades nine through 12 reported using marijuana within 30 days of taking the survey.
