Friends

Marijuana use with friends is more likely to occur within mutual, reciprocated compared to non reciprocated relationships. The influence tends to be alot stronger when the group of friends are more popular within the school, much more popular than the adolescence themselves. Friends that influence marijuana may play out in different ways depending on the trust and closeness between friends. Peer pressure can be one of the worst ways how marijuana is influenced among other teens which can lead to very poor choices and bad habits. When it comes to marijuana use teens can be very susceptible to the influence of other friends. Teens have a desire to want to fit in and be in the "cool" crowd and most of the time they will do whatever it takes to be accepted by them even if that means smoking weed with them. Friends smoke marijuana with each other for fun, to relax, before parties the list goes on. Teens are at a high risk now that more and more are using at such a young age to brian damage. If teens dont start changing now this could become a major problem in the future, internally and externally, physically and mentally.
