Health Consequences of Legalized Marijuana: Effects on Children and Adolescents in Families that Use Marijuana Regularly. Colorado is one of four states in the U.S. that has decriminalized the use of marijuana. In this session we will explore the following: 1) the current laws regarding the use of marijuana in Colorado, and 2) the health consequences on infants, children, and young adults because of their exposure to marijuana in the home. Along the way, we will answer the question: will the legalization of marijuana and its increased availability to parents undermine preventative health strategies of children and adolescents? “What is ‘Toxic Stress’ and what can we do about it?” Description: When a strong stress response occurs continually, or is triggered by multiple sources, it can have a cumulative toll on an individual’s physical and mental health—for a lifetime. The more adverse experiences a person has in childhood, the greater the likelihood of developmental delays in childhood and later health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, substance abuse, and depression. Research shows that supportive, responsive relationships with caring adults as early in life as possible can prevent or even reverse the damaging effects of toxic stress response. Come learn more about the research on toxic stress, what others are doing about it and how we can all help each other be healthier.”
