marijuana is an obstacle

Walking through school you may find yourself hitting an obstacle trying to make your way to class, that blockage is there specifically to show students that marijuana can cause obstacles while trying to make your way through school; or life in general for that matter.

Tinalyn Caisse, Prevention Coalition Coordinator, hopes to educate, raise awareness, and stop underage drug and alcohol abuse for college students from the age of 18 to 25 by using "marijuana is an obstacle" campaign. Caisse contacted the school and LSC accepted the offer and let them design the media campaign as a part of "phase 2".      

"Our number one goal is to address underage drinking and drug abuse amongst college students and our number two goal is to address low perceived risk of marijuana use in college", Caisse describes.

As the drug and alcohol abuse coalition, they chose this specific design because they felt as though students weren't attentive enough of the issue. Caisse worked with a design crew to create "Marijuana is an obstacle" plan, with the help of active LSC college students as well.

"I have been involved in this campaign for three years now, and has been in the area for 15 years", Caisse says. They will also be setting up a similar campaign around Burke Mountain area.

If you haven't run into the obstacle yet, I'm sure you will at some point during your time at LSC. You can also find this campaign team on Facebook; Look us up!
