About the Course

As a parent, if you’re not sure what to believe about marijuana, how will you handle the subject with your child? Maybe you’re simply confused over conflicting claims about the drug – whether it’s addictive, how harmful it is, why some think it should be legalized.

The best way for you to help your teen make healthy choices is to be informed. In this much needed book about America’s most widely used illegal drug, addiction specialist Timmen L. Cermak, M.D. helps parents sort through the latest facts, the known risks, and the divergent perspectives on marijuana.

This course is based on the book, Marijuana: What’s a Parent to Believe created by Timmen L. Cermak, M.D.
