Weed

 Weed, Marijuana, MaryJane, Cannabis, Pot  there are a lot of words to describe this type of plant. Lots of people see smoking weed as a gateway drug and once you start to get bored of it you want to try other more stronger. Lots of parents really don't want their kids to grow up and smoking weed because it is bad for you as a teen because it seems to be addicting which lots of people argue about as well. Back in the Mid-1990's the average THC in marijuana was around 4% but by 2014 the percentage went up to about 12% but that percentage only seems to be increasing as more years pass. There is no possible way that you can die from smoking weed but it can affect your life later on especially when you decide to stop smoking. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse teens who smoke weed who are under 18 have a 4 to 7 chance to develop a marijuana use disorder than adults. Others say that weed actually really helps them and those patients that are prescribed to the drug say that it helps them with anxiety, depression, and some cancer patients use the drug instead of chemo and it has helped them with some of the pain they feel. But what do you think about weed and about teens smoking weed? Or why it can be helpful for our economy and for those adults or children that need it for medical reasons?

  1. It has been proven that marijuana has immense medical use. I feel its important to have marijuana for this purpose, but with this it would be easier for teens to attain marijuana. Teens are always going to find a way to smoke marijuana, so its hard to stop the teens from doing it.

  2. I think that marijuana can be a really good medically. But at the same time it will be abused by teens and adults. When teens are under the influence of marijuana i dont think the get anymore aggressive. I believe most teens believe most teens are trying to get out of stress.
