Researchers at the Colorado School of Public Health spent months poring over thousands of published articles to create a self-study curriculum for The Tea on THC. See how much you know about why young people are using high-concentration cannabis, how they're getting it, and what it may be doing to their mental and physical health.
Discover what cannabis is and understand the significant impacts on your physical and mental health, all backed by the latest scientific evidence. Dive in to gain a deeper understanding and prioritize your well-being.
By participating in this lesson, students will be able to understand:
| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| Cannabis is safer and less expensive than tobacco. | For the fetus, cannabis poses risks similar to tobacco. |
| Cannabis is a safe and effective treatment for morning sickness. | No evidence supports this claim. |
| There is no risk, or just a slight risk, to using cannabis only once or twice a week during pregnancy. | Researchers already know that THC poses risks to fetal development, including to the nervous system. Research is still being conducted, but cannabis experts don’t think there is any "safe" dose during pregnancy. |
