What are some internal and external reasons that a teen might use, or decide not to use marijuana? ( write at least 3 sentences on this topic that seventh graders could understand )

Some reasons a teen might use Marijuana:

#1   They want to know what it's like.

#2   Other people are doing it.

#4   It's an 'escape' from everyday problems.

#5   To get high or feel good.


Some reasons a teen might not use Marijuana:

#1   It can affect physical health

#2   It can affect mental health

#3   It is a gate way drug

Hope this helps!!

While I do understand this is what they teach students, I just want to say I DO NOT agree with these reasons. I have known people who have smoked there whole life and show no signs of any sort of 'disability.'

Dip, snus and chew are the main types of smokeless tobacco
