Episode Notes
On this episode: Zak sits down with Dr. Nicole Schultz of UC Davis to talk about teens and marijuana. It’s a different world than when we were growing up—so we have Dr. Schultz share her understanding of why and how teens are using cannabis.
Elizabeth, Lucy, and Jamilah also share a round of recommendations—and then, for Slate Plus, our mom-hosts circle up to talk about how they remember being talked to about drugs … and whether DARE worked on, well, anyone.
Elizabeth recommends: iHome Slim USB Wall Charger
Lucy recommends: Have your kids make a movie
Jamilah recommends: Jane the Virgin
