New study: Young marijuana smokers at higher risk for psychoses – CNN.com

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Teens who started using marijuana at ages 14 or 15 had a higher risk of schizophrenia, according to a mew study.

It looks like pot is bad for you again.  It turns out that the risk of developing psychoses increases significantly for teens who begin smoking marijuana at 14 or 15.  Since the adolescent brain is still developing, it may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of drugs.

If you suspect your child is using marijuana, the time to act is immediately.  Young people may be reticent to go to a therapist in person, but may find it exciting to do so online.  Check out www.MyTherapyNet.com and check your child into online treatment.
