Alcohol, marijuana bad for teens in different ways
By Robert Preidt, HealthDay
Drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana may lead to different types of harmful consequences for teens, a new study suggests.
Researchers analyzed 2007 to 2011 data gathered from more than 7,400 U.S. high school seniors who said they had used alcohol or marijuana at least once.
The investigators found that drinking alcohol was associated with more unsafe driving, damage to relationships with friends and romantic partners, and regret about actions while under the influence of alcohol, especially among females.
On the other hand, marijuana use was more often tied to worsening relationships with teachers or supervisors, less energy or interest, and poorer school or job performance, according to the NYU researchers.
DUHHHH
Brilliant conclusion researchers. Now, what will “we” do with the information?
ETOH has it’s long known issues and consequences. Marijuana is another issue, a “motivation killer” at the least. Look around at our community, our young people.
South Lake Tahoe…(ie: the powers that be) have rewarded this mediocrity…and have missed the opportunity to reinvent South Lake Tahoe…for the last 15 years at least. There has been no forward thinking for years. Sad state of affairs for Tahoe at this point.
I notice no responses from the pro pot people. They must be taking their time to come up with a good retort. Or maybe they arent motivated enough to come up with a response. Pass that doobie…
