Johnny’s Ambassadors National Drug & Alcohol Fact Week
2024-03-18 - 2024-03-24 | OH
During the week of March 18-24, 2024 the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) promotes National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® (NDAFW). This year, the focus is “Shatter the Myths About Drugs and Alcohol.”
MYTH: “Marijuana is safe for teens.”
MYTH “SHATTERED”: “There is NO safe amount of marijuana in the developing teen brain!”
In keeping with our mission of youth marijuana prevention, Johnny’s Ambassadors will be shining a light on what can happen in the brain of a teen who uses marijuana through a series of fun, easy-to-understand whiteboard videos for you to share. We will remind people MARIJUANA IS NEVER SAFE FOR TEENS. We will be posting these videos this entire week on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Getting involved is easy and fun! All you have to do to participate is share our posts (or post your own) to help us “SHATTER” THE MYTH THAT MARIJUANA IS HARMLESS FOR TEENS. Each day this week please post the video below to your Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and/or LinkedIn (or all of the above):
March 18: Age Matters
March 19: Learn about THC and CBD
March 20: How Does the Brain Develop?
March 21: What areas of your brain are impacted by THC?
March 22: Your Amygdala Helps You Avoid Harm
March 23: Three THC Choices
March 24: Wellness
We gratefully accept your donations to Johnny’s Ambassadors to help us continue to create educational resources like these.

Overdose Awareness Day
2023-08-30 16:00 - 18:00 | Pumpkin Show Park, 121 N Court St, Circleville, OH, 43113, United States
On August 30, community members and community resource teams gather together for Overdose Awareness Day.
OAD exists to remember the lives lost to drug overdose, to lower stigma around substance use disorder and substance use related death. Through days like this, we promote prevention and recovery, and we use it as a platform to highlight the importance of strategies we can all use to reduce the risks related to substance use disorder.
We will be passing out education and resources, train and pass out Naloxone and other harm reduction supplies, we will have food and music and listen to the stories of those who are overcoming substance use disorder. We hope the community joins us on this day to foster compassion and empathy and to encourage unity and collaboration in the community to solve this problem.
Bring a padlock to the event if you want your loved one’s name at the Memorial Locks of Love Gate on Overdose Awareness Day.
