In 2018, 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) launched the statewide marijuana prevention and education campaign, You Can, 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 that encourage healthy behaviors as an alternative to marijuana use.
