When cannabis was legalized for adult use in 2012 by voters (Initiative 502), the law included funding for a website that would have science-based information for the public. The website, LearnAboutCannabisWA, offers information on a variety of topics. These include:
- Health effects
- Products and modes of use
- Addiction to cannabis
- Legal and safety issues
- Data and surveys
- Specific populations
- Other drugs and cannabis
There are also separate sections designed for parents and teens. A consumer FAQ section provides information for commonly asked questions. For those who prefer watching a video rather than reading, videos are also available.
Resources for quitting or cutting back cannabis use and links to help lines are available on this page.
