Child Fatality Review

Cannabis (marijuana) is a drug that is used recreationally and medicinally.


It is illegal for people under 21 to buy or use recreational marijuana in Washington state.


People who start using cannabis earlier in life increase their risk of developing certain health issues.

Our Role


Kitsap Public Health District is committed to reducing substance use among youth. Recreational cannabis is one of the substances that we have prioritized for prevention because of its harmful effects on youth.


You can find the Youth Cannabis & Commercial Tobacco Prevention Program (YCCTPP) 2024-2025 Needs Assessment here.


We work to prevent substance use and promote healthy behaviors among youth through education, community engagement, and strengthening connections within our region.


Together, we can keep youth safe and healthy.
