THE OTHER SIDE OF CANNABIS: NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA ON OUR YOUTH, A Documentary
|
THE OSC DOCUMENTARY is an independent film created by ordinary citizens with no political or economic affiliations or interests, other than bringing attention to the negative effects of marijuana on our youth--adolescents, teenagers and young adults whose brains are still forming. We are reaching out to our youth, as well as educators, medical and health professionals, researchers, and media, in addition to recovery and treatment center programs, behavioral health departments, law enforcement, and others who influence our youth. In order to make an informed decision to use marijuana, it is important to know the potential risks. This film is not about legalization nor medicinal treatments. While there may be times when components of marijuana are appropriate to use medicinally under proper medical guidance, the message that marijuana is safe, natural and harmless as a recreational substance, must be weighed against the evidence of associated risks.

TESTIMONIAL:
"This documentary is right on target in so many ways, from the science to the personal stories brought forth in a sensitive and endearing manner. As a neuroscientist and pharmacologist, I can vouch for the overriding message that marijuana wreaks havoc with the ability of the average brain to remain free of anxiety, panic, depression, psychosis and suicidal thoughts. As the parent of a young man just emerging into adulthood, my heart aches for the young stars of this film who have lost so much to this drug, yet remain hopeful for a future free of it. By the end, you will be cheering them on, hoping more than anything they make it. They emerge true heroes and you will not forget them."
