zaza
Slang for cannabis, usually meaning strong or high-quality weed.
For parents and educators
Kids hear it in songs constantly, so knowing the word does not mean they use it. If it shows up in your child's own messages, ask about it plainly, and talk about why cannabis affects a teen brain differently than an adult's.
If you’re worried
Your family doctor or school counsellor can help with substance concerns. If someone feels unwell after using, call your provincial poison centre (in Québec, the Centre antipoison du Québec), or 911 in an emergency. Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868 or text 686868.
