Did You Know? More than half of marijuana smokers started between the ages of 12 and 17.
Marijuana is the most common drug used among teenagers—in fact, more young people are using marijuana than tobacco. Research shows underage use of the drug is linked to depression, respiratory problems, irritability, impaired driving, sleep problems, poor school performance, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Recent legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational use has changed the way we think and talk about its use, although the consensus among scientists is that the drug can cause significant harm to underage users.Â
