Starting marijuana use at a young age can lead to permanent IQ loss.

Research shows that marijuana use can mess with your timing, coordination, and movement — all key to athletic performance.

​

Whether you’re on the field, court, or track, weed can slow you down. 

Driving under the influence of marijuana slows your reaction time, your coordination, makes it harder to stay in your lane and respond to hazards on the road.

Weed can affect your ability to drive safely.

Studies have found links between marijuana use and serious mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts.

 

Your mind matters. Protect it. Stay substance-free.​
