Linn County Youth Marijuana Prevention Campaign
A collaboration between Linn Together, the Linn County Alcohol and Drug Program, the Linn County Juvenile Department and the Linn County Sheriff’s Office.
Aimed at middle school students and their parents, the Youth Marijuana Prevention Campaign uses relatable themes—Control, Reach, and Protect—to highlight both the benefits of avoiding marijuana and the risks associated with youth use.
Using imagery drawn from gaming, sports, and social media, the campaign delivers a clear message: choosing to stay marijuana-free supports better brain health, stronger mental health, and greater school success.
The campaign features local billboards, posters, rack cards, social media ads, and themed giveaways such as stickers and shoelaces. These materials are designed to spark conversation and encourage positive choices.
Additional resources, including information about marijuana’s impact on adolescent development, are available at linntogether.org/next-level-prevention
