It's easy to think you're fine after a few hours, but be safe and call a ride instead. Cannabis affects everyone differently and how long it stays in your system depends on how you consumed it, how much, and your own body chemistry. What feels like sober might not be.

Es fácil pensar que estás bien después de unas horas, pero lo más seguro es pedir que te recojan. El cannabis afecta a cada persona de manera diferente y el tiempo que permanece en tu sistema depende de cómo lo consumiste, cuánto consumiste y la química de tu propio cuerpo. Sentirte sobrio no siempre significa que lo estés.

Your Mental Health Matters. Alcohol Isn't the Answer.

Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? You're not alone. It can be tempting to think alcohol will help you cope, but it often does the opposite, like making stress, anxiety, and depression worse over time.

Taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Try healthier ways to cope:
- Talk to a trusted friend, family member, teacher, or counselor.
- Get moving with a walk, workout, or your favorite sport.
- Listen to music that helps you relax or lifts your mood.
- Spend time doing a hobby or creative activity you enjoy.
- Reach out for support when you need it.

You don't have to face difficult moments on your own. Help is available, and brighter days are possible.

Small steps can make a big difference. You are not alone.
