Many teenagers believe that marijuana is safer than alcohol or other drugs. Teenagers may say, "it is harmless because it is natural," "it is not addictive," or "it does not affect my thinking or my
grades." Research has shown that marijuana can cause serious mental health disorders and problems with learning, feelings, and health.
