HAWP presents "Weed Out The Myths," a virtual Q&A panel with experts in cannabis research, policy, and health and safety.

Dr. Staci Gruber: Director of the Cognitive and Clinical Neuroimaging Core at McLean Hospital’s Brain Imaging Center and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. She launched Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery (MIND).

Will Jones III, MPA: Communications and Outreach Associate at Smart Approaches to Marijuana. He is an experienced speaker and community activist working on issues of social justice at the local and national level. He co-founded Two Is Enough DC.

Tom Fontana, LCMHC, LADC: Alcohol, Cannabis, and Other Drugs Initiatives Manager for the University of Vermont. He coordinates prevention, education, and the brief intervention model, BASICS. He is also the creator of the T Break Guide.

It’s okay not to be okay. There is hope in all circumstances. At This Is My Brave College Edition, experience authentic, creative storytelling from six Boston-area college students – Eden, LaToya, Mitchell, Ruby, Nicole, and David – who live with mental health challenges. Let our storytellers inspire you to find hope in your own challenges or give hope to someone you love who may be facing similar circumstances. There will be a live question and answer segment after the performance where you can interact directly with the storytellers.

Join us to be inspired by an amazing cast of storytellers who are breaking barriers to end stigma for college students everywhere!
