What stats do you have that show that they will "most likely experiment"? I never tried smoking cigs or weed in college.

 

I didn't either. I was in the minority.

So you have stats that prove that the majority of college students try cigarettes or weed in college?

Secondly, it wasn't stat-based. The reality of YOUR child experimenting is not really what I care about. It's more of a question about the reality of smoking cigarettes.

Depends.

 

Occasional weed vs regular cigarette smoking? Latter is worse.

I just surveyed a 23 yr old. Question was "Of the people you hung with how many tried weed or cigarettes at least once?"

 

95%

History. Lots of friends smoked weed back in the day. They do not today.

Marijuana is addictive with more teens in treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependence than for all other illicit drugs combined.⁴⁷ Using marijuana can also lead to disturbed perceptions and thoughts, and marijuana use can worsen psychotic symptoms in people who have schizophrenia.⁴⁸

How is it a sample size of one? If I watch 100 people and report their results isn't that a sample size of 100?

 

It was not intended to be proof of anything other than it's more than many think.

Pick your poision.

How many of your friends who smoked weed in high school or college suffered the above?

For the record, I'm not advocating either. I know many who have suffered serious illness or death as a result of cigarettes. I know of no one who has suffered because of the occasional toke .

How many of your friends who smoked weed in high school or college suffered the above?

 

 

Didn't know a lot of people that smoked weed in high school or college, but I've seen countless number of teenagers that have come into the ER suicidal, phsycotic and depressed that tested positive for weed.
