CONCLUSION:
The clutter of messages about marijuana in the popular culture creates an atmosphere
of confusion and sends kids mixed signals about the drug. But what should be clear is
that no responsible person thinks young people should use marijuana.
Parents can help keep their children away from marijuana by letting them know its
dangers and by monitoring their activities and staying involved in their lives.
Schools and communities can also play an important role by providing activities that
keep kids interested and involved in healthy, drug-free programs.
If you want to help dispel misperceptions and spread the truth about marijuana to help
kids grow up drug-free, you can educate yourself about the dangers of marijuana and
keep up with scientific research into its harmful effect. Then, you can also help the
kids in trouble with marijuana get into drug treatment programs. In addition, you also
can be an advocate for better, more informed drugged-driving laws and support after-
school programs and get involved in local anti-drug coalitions. Lastly, you can also
stay informed about the marijuana laws in your state and take a stand against changes
in legislation that would increase the drug’s availability in your country.
