Cannabis
and Young People
People who use marijuana before the age of 16 are
more likely to encounter problems as they grow up, later in life the
individuals who consume marijuana will be more dependent on the drug. Teens who
use marijuana have a harder time with family integration, they are more likely
to leave the family residence early, as well as immature sexual activity and
early pregnancy (Center, 2011). All these factors are
seen as deviant and are frowned upon in our society, this may be more difficult
for people to integrate into society if they leave the family home at an early
age due to the fact that these youths succumb to peer pressure in order to fit
in at an early age but they do not think of the future consequences.
