Marijuana / Question
Published: May 22, 2001
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I just read an answer about the side effects of marijuana. Even though the answer was posted almost 2 years ago. I just wanted to know where you get your information? I've done some research myself and have read the exact opposite about marijuana. Everything you answered, you answered with, were things that were used to scare most people and most of your answers have been disproved or never found to be true. If you think you are helping teens by telling them lies you will see that you will get the exact opposite of your goal. You don't gain a person's trust by feeding them lies. Teens are smarter then you think.
