We are committed to protecting our youth and communities from substance use using evidence-based interventions, programs, and strategies.
Cannabis Substance Use Prevention (CSUP)
CSUP is a prevention initiative started by the State of Minnesota to reduce the negative impacts of the legalization of cannabis in 2023. For our youth, cannabis and other substances can hurt the developing brain. Substances, such as cannabis, can affect decision-making, cognition, and even increase the risk of a substance use disorder in youth.
