Teenage Marijuana Use

These two theories are closely related. The pressure that causes young people to start smoking may be caused by social reasons such as no friends, trying to adapt. Both of these views ignore the reasons why young smokers will lead to giving friends, ie popular and stress free people. Today's survey covers only a group of specific teenagers and is not the reason why other individuals and why marijuana began to smoke. About the use of marijuana as a developmental problem in adolescence: It seems that every 10 years of marijuana's research it shows that there is no side effect for the user.

As the use of juvenile cannabis increases, the way in which research bowls can influence the developing young brain is more important than ever. A study published in the 2011 issue of Journal of Psychopharmacology examined 181 adolescent groups with learning and memory skills between 16 and 20 years of age. In this group, cannabis users gave lower scores on cognitive tests from alcohol users or non-drug users. When teens start using marijuana, learning and memory becomes more serious.

In the last 20 years, young people have engaged in illegal drug use at high interest rates. This is mainly due to the epidemic of cannabis use. The use of juvenile cannabis has declined since the mid-1990s, but it has increased since the mid 2000's. According to the nationwide drug use survey in 2012, 6.5% of the 8th graders, 17.0% of the 10th graders, 22.9% of the 12th graders used marijuana last month. This is an increase from 14.2% in the 10th grade in 2007 and 18.8% in the 12th grade. Everyday usage is also increasing, 6.5% of 12th graders use cannabis every day. (read more...)

In the US, the number of teenagers using marijuana is increasing. Cannabis is the most commonly used medicine in the United States and as a role model of American culture many teenagers and adults criticize as easily as using legitimate drugs and use it I will. According to the National Institutes of Health, in 1994, 13% of the 8th graders, 25% of the 10th graders, 4%, 30% of the 12th graders, 7% were marijuana. In Atlanta, at all high schools, one in three students used cannabis in 1994 and one in five regularly used marijuana. In addition, recent research in Maryland State, New York State and Baltimore County, Maryland shows an increase in cannabis use during adolescence.
