Smoking Marijuana

"Smoking marijuana makes people lose control."

Listen to this Commentary!

By Ahmed Dirgham

I think smoking marijuana is worthless.

Most of my friends get high every time we hang out. They know it’s bad for them but they don’t care. Sometimes they want to get high because of peer pressure. They say it makes and kind of lost inside. It’s like smoking cigarettes -- they smoke one, and like it, so they keep doing it.

Smoking marijuana makes people lose control. I have friends who have gone out after smoking and ended up fighting in the streets, or in jail. Teenagers need to know how dangerous marijuana really is.
