Marijuana - What We Don't Know CAN Hurt our Kids.

Community in Crisis was pleased to welcome Luke Niforatos from Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) as the inaugural speaker of our Parent University series. Luke’s presentation is entitled, Lessons Learned from Legalized States. Please take time to watch his presentation and learn how we can keep our kids healthy and safe now that recreational marijuana is legalized in New Jersey.
We would like to thank the Bernards Township Health Department, Bernardsville Middle School HSA, EmPoWER Somerset, Ridge PTO and Safe Communities Coalition for supporting this event.
