In 2016, about one in five Washington 10th graders reported using marijuana in the last 30 days. In October 2018, The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is relaunching the statewide campaign, You Can, which is the evolution of Listen2YourSelfie – DOH's first Marijuana Prevention and Education campaign to educate youth about the risks and consequences of using marijuana. The campaign encourages young people to pursue their future dreams and immediate personal goals – and helps them to see that marijuana may distract from those dreams and goals.
We'd like to ask for your help promoting the campaign. The toolkit below has been updated with new materials, including Ask an Expert videos and content from a series called Choose You, which encourages healthy behaviors as an alternative to marijuana use.
