Marijuana Education Initiative is a progressive, research-based prevention and intervention program that provides curricula and services to promote an informed understanding of the impact of youth and adolescent marijuana use in the post-legalization age. MEI fills a need for post-legalization, marijuana-specific curricula that shifts the dialogue and approach to adolescent drug prevention. MEI has no political or ethical stance on the legalization of marijuana.
The MEI program provides educators, schools, legislators, policy makers, corporations, communities and families with information and resources to better understand and confront the challenges associated with the changing dynamics created by legalized marijuana. Marijuana laws and views are changing across the country, and MEI is committed to providing youth with progressive education to accompany this change.
