“There is no perfect way to talk with your children about alcohol, marijuana, prescription medications, and other drugs. But being honest and involved has a big influence on your children, even if it seems like they’re not listening.

To get started, it’s important to think about your own views on children and the use of alcohol, marijuana, prescription medications, and other drugs. This website has information about the risks of underage use of alcohol, marijuana, prescription medications, and other drugs. It will prepare you to sort out the facts with your kids, and help them make decisions to lead a healthy life.”

“Speak Now Colorado hopes you will talk with your children early and often about alcohol, marijuana, prescription medications, and other drugs. The information here will spark ideas for the best times and places to talk. It will also help you choose language your children will understand, based on their age.”
