PARENTING: Teen Pot Use Linked to Illegal Drug Use by Age 21
BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 13: An activist removes cannabis from a bag before smoking a marijuana joint at the annual Hemp Parade (Hanfparade) on August 13, 2016 in Berlin, Germany. German proponents of cannabis legalization are hoping that the legalization in several states in the USA in recent years will increase the likelihood of legalization in Germany.
Teens who regularly or occasionally use pot are more likely to take other illegal drugs or use other harmful substances by age 21.
Researchers found that teenagers in the study who regularly used marijuana were 26x more likely to have used other illegal drugs, such as cocaine, amphetamines or hallucinogens, by the time they reached early adulthood.
Also, you’re 37x more likely to be hooked on nicotine, and three times more likely to have harmful drinking habits by age 21!
