Factoids about Marijuana and Teens:
Marijuana
Marijuana is 300% more potent now than 20 years ago. It causes significant changes to blood flow in the brain, leading to diminished cognition and judgment. shatterproof.org
About 9 percent of those who use marijuana will become addicted. This rate increases to 17 percent of those who start in their teens, and goes up to 25 to 50 percent among daily users. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
Regular use of marijuana has been linked to depression, anxiety, and a loss of drive or motivation, which means a loss of interest even in previously enjoyable activities. Its effects can be unpredictable, especially when mixed with other drugs. NIDA
After alcohol, marijuana is the drug most often linked to car accidents, including those involving deaths. Marijuana affects skills required for safe driving—alertness, concentration, coordination, and reaction time. Marijuana makes it hard to judge distances and react to signals and sounds on the road. NIDA
The human brain continues to develop into the early 20s. Exposure to addictive substances, including marijuana, may cause changes to the developing brain that make other drugs more appealing. This may be why some people who use marijuana go on to try other drugs. NIDA
ACT PREP WITH CHAD CARGILL- Chad Cargill is scheduled to do his ACT prep workshop at Jones High School on February 1 form 830 to 11:30am in the High School Commons.
