Above The Influence

Some movies and music make stoners look cool and natural

It limits your brain’s effectiveness and will make you do bad in school

Studies shown smoking weed increased rates of anxiety and depression.

Over half of seniors and high school have tried weed

Does peer pressure have any effect? A new study says it has little effect It says that self management skills and

psychological characteristics have a bigger impact

It showed the importance of high refusal assertiveness skills

However, the study was taken in the form of a survey, thus the scientific validity of the study is questionable (because of response bias)

Smokin the Reefer Just because mary jane is el natural does not

mean that it is good for you. Natural and Synthetic versions of mary jane can

cause long lasting, negative impacts on your brain Maui Wowie smoke contains 50 to 70 % more

carcinogenic hydrocarbons then tobacco smoke Some say that wacky tabacky is a gateway drug

to more intense drugs, in some studies this has been proven to be true

Do you smoke cheeba? Willie and

Snoop do

Teen Drug Abuse Peers are major determinants of adolescent

drug use Teens who’s friends use drugs are at an

increased likelihood of using drugs themselves

Some other factors lead to teen drug use but peers is one of the most prevelant

Using social networking sites is a very easy and affective way to study adolescent drug use in the context of peer groups

Role Models can influence drug use Peer relationships are important for

adolescent drug use. Family behavior influences teens to

have different habits. Family and friends are primary groups,

so they have a lot of influence on others. Adolescents acquire attitudes favorable

to drug use.
