Sometimes a teen brings up substances — alcohol, cannabis, or something else — and you’re not sure how to respond. Watching Mind-Blowing! together is a simple way to explore these topics with curiosity and ease.

Here are three more episodes to help you start your discussions:

Episode 4: Psychoses and Teens Who Use

Episode 5: Magic Mushrooms

What are the effects of psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms? This capsule explains the science in a clear, engaging way.

Episode 6: Does Alcohol Make You Courageous?

Why does alcohol affect our behavior? This episode examines what happens in the brain when someone consumes alcohol and why risk-taking may increase.

Tip for parents: After watching, try asking:

• “What surprised you the most?”
• “How would you respond in that situation?”
• “What questions do you still have?”

Sharing these short, science-based videos creates a safe space for honest conversations, building trust while giving teens the knowledge they need.
