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.

Most kids know that it is not right and they will get into a lot of trouble if they are caught, but it is the rush that makes them want to do it. or fourth graders? ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. Not very many of them are doing this but there are a few. Well, remember the young little kids that first tried it a few years ago and liked it, they have become friends with older teenagers that grow it and now they have begun to grow it also. It's not a jock thing, a guy thing or even a troubled kid thing. Well, after a while some of their other friends want to try it also, so they do, and they like it. Some adults socially accept marijuana, but they aren't the ones who set all the examples for our youth.
