For example:
A: There are many reasons why some children and young teens start
smoking marijuana. Many young people smoke marijuana because they see their
brothers, sisters, friends, or even older family members using it. Some use
marijuana because of peer pressure.
Others may think it’s cool to use marijuana because they hear songs about it and
see it on TV and in movies. Some teens may feel they need marijuana and other
drugs to help them escape from problems at home, at school, or with friends.
No matter how many shirts and caps you see printed with the marijuana leaf, or
how many groups sing about it, remember this: You don’t have to use marijuana
just because you think everybody else is doing it. Most teenagers do not use
marijuana!
