VAPING Whats vaping? -Vaping is inhaling vaporized nicotine + other harmful chemicals, and is advertised as an alternative to smoking cigarettes. Vaporizers are sometimes called e-cigarettes or electronic smoking products (ESPs).... Is it healthier than smoking? Smoking is unhealthy due to both the nicotine and chemicals that enter your body via smoking them. Vaping has different chemicals than cigarettes, but many of these are harmful.

Feeling SAD? Does that mean you are DEPRESSED? How can you tell the difference? Everyone will experience feelings of sadness from time to time, and there isnt always a reason. ...

The difference between feeling sad and depression .... Sad feelings that dont go away can be a sign of depression, though there are a number of other possible symptoms, including: low mood lasting for two or more weeks feelings of hopelessness, or lacking enjoyment sleeping more than usual or being unable to sleep completely lacking concentration on daily activities, such as watching TV loss of appetite or comfort eating thoughts of self-harm or suicide Getting help ...

Marijuana. Cannabis, bud, blunt, chronic, dab, dope, ganja, grass, green, hash, herb, joint, loud, mary jane, mj, pot, reefer, skunk, smoke, trees, wax, weed. The Canadian government legalized cannabis for those over 18 years of age. However, legal DOESNT mean SAFE!... Just like alcohol, marijuana can cause short term impairment of coordination and decision making, and is still ILLEGAL for those under 18 years of age. This is because it can be very HARMFUL to your BRAIN. The human BRAIN continues to develop until a person is in their mid-20s and using substances like marijuana, alcohol and other recreational drugs can cause serious cognitive DEFICITS FOR LIFE. It Just Isnt Worth It. Cannabis impacts the developing brain, causing longer term effects like PANIC, ANXIETY, PARANOIA and increasing risky or dangerous behaviours in the short term. Some changes, including COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT, LEARNING DIFFICULTIES, SCHIZOPHRENIA and MEMORY LOSS can be permanent in some cases. Some teens have developed life-long PSYCHOSIS after using marijuana. If you have questions or concerns about the risk of marijuana, other drugs or alcohol, we can help at the Teen & Young Adult Clinic. Drop by the medical clinic next to the IGA in Sundre on Wednesdays from 2:30-5:30pm. No appointment necessary and visits are confidential. #DrugFree #SafeChoices #TeenClinic No photo description available.

The POWER of LANGUAGE Have you ever thought about how the words a person uses can change the impact of a statement? Check out the fake news headline below ... ...

Howeverm we still have the power to make changes in our own lives that can influence others and our society. Small changes, day to day, add up to big changes over time. One way that society is learning to change our relationship with violence is through the words we use each day.
