BOONE COUNTY DRUG PREVENTION COALITION A Message From Our Program Director, Alyssa Rothmaler
It is a new year for the coalition and we are ready to take it on with our members and Youth Leadership Council students. We are always encouraging people to get involved in helping the community and what better way than to share in our mission of keeping our youth and families healthy, educated and substance free? We meet in person at the Boone County Health Department every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 3:30-4:30. There are so many ways your skills, talents, and voice can be utilized in order to make an impact in our county working toward our vision of creating a drug free community. Not sure if you are able to get involved due to work? Talk with your employer and see if they have any policies or encourage involvement from an organizational standpoint to get involved in coalition work. If there is one thing I have learned in my 3 years of working in Boone County, it is that people really do come together to help each other on a personal level or organizational level to reach goals and create a better community for all.
ACTIVITY TIME: MARIJUANA TERMS YOU MAY NOT KNOW Match the term below to the proper description. Answers on the bottom of the page.
Budder/Honey Dabbing Cannabinoids 710 Wax CBD (Cannabidiol) 420 Shatter Medibles Bud Hydroponics Kush

Upside down spells “OIL”, a common term for dabs & marijuana concentrates. A term for edibles that are sold for “medical” purposes but are the same as edibles. A cannabinoid associated with the medical marijuana community & is not intoxicating. The actual flower of the marijuana plant that is now considered the old fashioned way of smoking. The chemical compound unique to cannabis. The practice of smoking THC extracts in forms of oils, waxes or shatter which contain large amounts of THC. A brittle form of butane hash oil (highly potent concentrate) & looks like transparent amber glass. A popular strain or brand of cannabis plants. Slang term used to describe marijuana extracts using butane and has a waxy appearance. A way to identify with marijuana culture on a specific date to celebrate getting high. A common name for marijuana concentrates with a harder and non transparent oil. A system of growing plants including marijuana without use of soil.
DELTA 8
WHAT IS IT? Most people know about marijuana and have heard of the term “THC” which also means “Tetrahydrocannabinol” or “weed”, but many may not know that it can also mean Delta-8 THC. Delta-8 THC is a compound from the cannabis plant. This is a high that is usually reported to be half of what traditional weed or (Delta-9) may be and may also not last as long.

YOUTH COUNCIL CORNER
Youth Council is starting up again for the 2022 year. Meetings are monthly at the Belvidere YMCA on Wednesday evenings beginning at 6 PM. If you know a youth who is interested in joining, please visit www.bcpc.org. Youth will be working on new campaigns around Stigma and how it affects youth & their ability to grow & the toll it takes on their mental well-being. Beginning this year, youth will be taking the Illinois Youth Survey with their schools which is an amazing way for us to collect useful information for prevention
This form of THC is growing in popularity especially among younger users and can also be vaped or used as a wax or edible depending on its distribution and packaging. Visit www.TallCopSaysStop.com for more information.
STIGMA & MENTAL HEALTH
Stigma is a set of unfair or negative beliefs that society or a group of people have about something. Mental health and substance abuse can have major stigma attached to them and can contribute to worsening symptoms and reduced likelihood of getting treatment. A recent extensive review of research found that stigma leads to negative effects on recovery among people diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. Effects can include: • reduced hope • lower self-esteem • increased psychiatric symptoms • difficulties with social relationships • reduced likelihood of staying with treatment • more difficulties at work
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
• Register & become a member at bcdpc.org or ask a current member how to get involved. • Attend monthly meetings held the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at the Belvidere YMCA Social Room. • Volunteer during our events. • Send us your feedback & suggestions.
COMMENTS & FEEDBACK: We invite comments, feedback or suggestions on the information shared here. Kindly leave your comment on our website at bcdpc.org or you can write or call us at bcdpc@boonehealth.org phone: 815-547-8388. Answers: Budder - 9 ; Dabbing - 6; Cannabinoids - 5; 710 - 1; Wax - 11; CBD - 3; 420 - 10; Shatter - 7; Medibles - 2; Bud - 4; Hydroponics - 12; Kush -8.
