Marijuanas early start

A detailed Summary of Marijuanas early start

Lisa, Jenny and Alex were all 11 years old and in the sixth grade. They were great athletes and super smart. They had everything going for them, until they got suspended from school for the use and possession of marijuana. This scenario and others much similar have become a regular occurrence in schools across the United States. A recent government survey tells us that marijuana is the most frequently used illegal drug in the country; it also says that nearly 50% of teenagers have tried marijuana before they graduate from high school.* From personal experiences, I think that that number is much higher for our school.

Most of my friends and fellow classmates have smoked it

before and many of them still smoke it on a regular basis. Parents

ty have no idea that this is so regularly happening and why it is happening. I think that by personal interactions and experiences give me the knowledge to explain it all. Most people think that it can't really be happening and that their sweet little children wouldn't ever dare to do it. Well, they do. At this school many people start experimenting with marijuana in the sixth and seventh grade. Not very many of them are doing this but there are a few. Then, in turn they like it and continue occasionally use it. Well, after a while some of their other friends want to try it also, so they do, and they like it. Then, some more of there friends try it. This cycle goes on and on, so by Jr. High graduation most pre-teens have tried it.
