A big problem with adolescent usage is the changes in the brain that happen with marijuana use. An article in USA Today cites a recent study that shows that “people who start using marijuana at a young age have more cognitive shortfalls. Also, the more marijuana a person used in adolescence, the more trouble they had with focus and attention.” Here is a link.
