MANCHESTER TIMES • BERKELEY TIMES • BRICK TIMES JACKSON TIMES • HOWELL TIMES • TOMS RIVER TIMES

HOWELL – The goal of the presentation was to educate seniors as potential cannabis consumers so they can make informed, fact-based, and safe decisions regarding THC use.

They reviewed marijuana/cannabis terminology, the high THC potency levels available today, recreational cannabis legalization in NJ, different ways marijuana is sold and consumed, and how marijuana use may impact the physical and mental health of seniors and other age groups.

Thank you to the seniors for great participation and questions during our respectful and education-based dialogue on the topic! The seniors were very attentive and interested in learning about marijuana legalization and potential impacts of cannabis use for themselves and their loved ones across generations.

Extra thanks to senior center member Charlotte for helping the Alliance pack up after the presentation while sharing her life stories!
