Let’s Talk: Cannabis in Our Community – A Town Hall for Adults Concerned About Kids, Teens & Families
If you’ve ever wondered how cannabis is affecting our youth and families here in Palm Springs, you’re not alone. The Boys & Girls Club of Palm Springs, in partnership with the City of Palm Springs, is opening the doors for a much-needed conversation — and you’re invited.
On Wednesday, March 26, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., the Club will host a Community Town Hall focused on one big topic: Cannabis in Our Community – Effects on Kids, Teens, and Families.
This free event is designed for adults who want to better understand how cannabis is showing up in our neighborhoods, how it’s impacting young people, and what local experts are seeing on the ground. From medical professionals and city officials to law enforcement and youth advocates, the evening promises a well-rounded discussion with time for questions and open dialogue.
