Weed out the Risk

Weed Out the Risk – An anti-crash course on Cannabis and Driving (WOTR), is an interactive, harm reduction based, educational program which informs youth and young adults about the risk associated with driving high or being a passenger in a vehicle with a driver who is under the influence of cannabis.

WOTR’s weed education program, led by a trained facilitator, engages youth through interactive discussion, games, activities, and videos to dialogue openly with youth about how cannabis impairment affects one’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. It reviews the potential financial, legal, and social risks to be considered when faced with the choice to drive high or ride in a car with a cannabis-impaired driver.

The WOTR program educates youth using a harm reduction approach which is non-judgemental and inclusive of participants specific context. Each workshop uses games, discussion questions, videos, and scenarios to enhance the learning experience.
