Johnny's Ambassadors
Johnny’s Ambassadors is on a mission to educate teens, parents, and communities about the dangers of today’s high-THC marijuana and the effects it has on adolescent brain development, mental illness, and suicide. Prevention's focus is on youth marijuana awareness, prevention, and education. We share data-driven facts and clear messaging with teens and parents to reduce the likelihood that youth will use marijuana and stop progression to more problematic use. Our goals are to keep youth from using marijuana and increase their perception of harm in using.
