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.
A 2011 survey revealing that usage of the substance among teens in
the county had increased since 2008 indicated the need for such an
event, said Karen Lackey, the Youth Led Prevention coordinator for
the Geauga Educational Service Center, the organization which is
hosting the program.
Twenty percent of students in grades nine through 12 reported using
marijuana within 30 days of taking the survey.
