How should parents and educators respond when teens experiment with modern vaping, edibles, or gas station synthetics?
Dr. Stacy Marshall (Emergency Medicine Physician, Medical Toxicologist, and Adolescent Addiction Specialist at Children's of Alabama) joins Executive Director Nichole to break down the medical reality of adolescent substance use. They explore how high-potency products impact developing brains, what parents need to know about accidental edible ingestion, and how Children's of Alabama's Adolescent Substance Use Assessment Clinic is providing low-barrier support for families.
