Clearing the Smoke: THC, Inc. Film Screening and Panel Discussion

The Risks of Today’s High Potency Cannabis and Its Effects on our Youth

As today's cannabis products become increasingly potent, accessible, and socially accepted, understanding their impact on youth mental health is more important than ever.

CCNS is proud to partner with Kenilworth Union Church and the Alison Tobey Smart Memorial Fund for this important community event.

Join us on Thursday, November 5, at 6:30 p.m. at Kenilworth Union Church for a screening of the 90-minute documentary THC, Inc., featuring firsthand perspectives from experts and the stories of young people who have struggled with cannabis use disorder.

Following the film, CCNS will join panelists from Peer Services, KEY Coalition, NAMI, and the Alison Tobey Smart Memorial Fund for a discussion on the risks of today's cannabis, its impact on youth, and the local prevention, treatment, and support resources available to families.

We hope you'll join us for this important community conversation as we work together to protect and support the mental health and well-being of our youth.
