About

Everyone wants to make the best and most informed decisions they can, for themselves and their families. But decisions can only be as good as the facts they are based upon.

This site is intended to be a clear, scientifically-based, unbiased source of information about cannabis, vaping and their effects, particularly upon youth. Sometimes it can be hard to sort between the information and misinformation swirling around the internet. Here you will find a compilation of the latest findings and research, and we will continue to update the site as new and ongoing studies are published. We encourage you to visit this site on a regular basis, to explore, to share, and to have the facts.

‍We review and track verifiable resources via the following criteria:

  • Thorough and significant studies
  • Trustworthy sources: leading institutions, recognized experts and peer-reviewed journal articles
  • As current as possible
  • Appropriate sample size, random controls and generalizable data
  • Avoidance of biased sources, out of context reviews or selectively chosen data
  • Transparency about funding and affiliations
  • Considers compiled results of relevant meta-analyses
  • Recognizes limitations that require further study
