Marijuana and THC: Is legal recreational pot coming to Georgia? What are the Risks for Teens and Young Adults?

Presenters will be Dr. Gregg Raduka and Doreen Barr from Let’s Get Clear Georgia, a non-profit collaborative preventing marijuana abuse and addiction through advocacy and education. They will also speak to what parents can do now prevent legal, recreational pot from coming to Georgia. They will also speak about the many risks teens and young adults expose themselves to through marijuana use such as addiction, traffic accidents, suicide, and for expecting mothers-still birth and premature birth. They will also address how to prevent such risks.

Doreen Barr is a board member of Let’s Get Clear Georgia. In 2015 Doreen lost her son, Ryan, to fentanyl, which had been preceded by marijuana use. Her new mission is drug education and awareness through her non-profit foundation, “In Ryan’s Name, Inc.” She is also a member of Moms Strong and serves as the Rx Drug Team committee chair with Drug Free Fayette. Doreen was invited by GA Attorney General Chris Carr to serve on the State Opioid Task Force.

Gregg Raduka, Ph.D., LPC, ICPS, is the Executive Director and CEO of Let’s Get Clear Georgia. Dr. Raduka helped to design and implement the first Adolescent Chemical Dependency Treatment Program at Ridgeview Institute in Cobb County.  The evidence-based prevention programs he has designed and implemented have served tens of thousands of Georgia’s families, children, youth and adults since 1987. He received his Ph.D. in Human Development from the University of Maryland’s Institute for Child Study and is a Licensed Professional Counselor and an Internationally Certified Prevention Specialist.  He has closely followed Georgia’s marijuana legislation since 2014 and has been a leader in advocating for the protection of all of Georgia’s children and adults from marijuana and other drug abuse.
