Be Cannabis Aware is a digital campaign that gives young people—and the adults who support them—the real facts about cannabis. The campaign offers messages and downloadable tools to help youth navigate peer pressure, understand the risks of cannabis use, and explore strategies for mental wellness. A dedicated “For Mentors” section offers practical tips and conversation guides for parents, caregivers, teachers, and coaches. Whether you're curious about Minnesota’s new laws or looking for ways to support youth, Be Cannabis Aware creates space for informed and meaningful conversations.
