S2E33: Weed and the developing teen brain

Confession: Lane is exposed to vapes, cigarettes, and weed on a daily basis at school.  My current expectation (after Lane has been struggling with all of these substances throughout this school year) is this: you might take hits off of friends during the school day, but you will not have it on your person or in our home.  If I find it, the established consequences will be enforced.Included in this episode:*a funny Christmas story*Lane's first time smoking weed and his dabbling in it continues*why I do not allow Lane to have cigarettes, vape pens, or weed in my home*the dangers of teens smoking weedTeens and WeedAmerican Addiction CentersTalk to me!
