Marijuana and Teenagers
I think that marijuana usage is one of the most common problems of teenagers today so I decided to find out some of the problems and reasons why teenagers are using marijuana.Marijuana has been used since the early 1900’s to make clothing and rope and later used widely throughout Asia for medicinal and recreational purposes. My first source of information came from the book ‘The Great Brain Robbery’ by Tom Scott and Trevor Grice. This book is about all sorts of drugs and I found it very useful for my topic. Signs that teenagers are using drugs can range from behavior changes, physical changes, school attitude changes, physical changes, mental and emotional changes and social changes. Some of these are: dramatic and unexpected changes in attitudes, drop in school grades, less concentration and motivation, erratic sleeping and eating habits, rapid mood swings, loss of short term memory, changes in friends, drawn back and secretive.
It is obvious that things like the law, authority and parental disapproval is not going to stop teenagers from smoking marijuana because teenagers will be teenagers and in one stage of most of their lives they will want to rebel against the world and there is not a lot of things that people can do. rt term affects can include reddening of the eyes, increased appetite, paranoia and anxiety. I think that my survey proved that not all teenagers are affected by marijuana and not easily influenced just because of their friends or families opinions. In my opinion, marijuana usage does affect your life if it is used frequently enough, being a teenager myself, I can see it happening around me all the time and I think that most of the time it is just a phase in a persons life that will pass eventually and sometimes its not but in the end we are all responsible for our own actions and what ever we choose to do, or not to do will have its own consequences.
