CCAPS received an AACAP Advocacy and Collaboration grant to partner with SMART Colorado to protect youth from the harms of cannabis exposure. CCAPS members have been very active in spreading accurate, scientific information about cannabis and its effects on the developing brain. We have also been at the forefront of advocating for common sense protections for youth during cannabis legalization.
