Marijuana 



     A trending and common activity has spread among teens, so much that it has become normal to hear teenagers smoking marijuana. "According to the 2012 Monitoring the Future (MTF) Study, 45.3% of U.S. 12th graders reported having used marijuana once or more in their lifetime." This significant number represents half of America's graduating class having smoked marijuana. Considering that teens are in a period of developmental changes, smoking marijuana can cause cognitive and memory problems. Also, it can lead to a lost of attention and IQ.
