Abstract
The annual prevalence for marijuana use among college students was 38% in 2017
(Schulenberg, Johnston, O'Malley, Bachman, Miech, & Patrick, 2018), with annual rates of use
increasing by 14% over the past 10 years. A study looking at the current science related to the
negative health effects of marijuana found that some long-term effects are increased likelihood
of dropping out of school, lower IQ, and lower life satisfaction and achievement. These were
also all strongly related with starting to use marijuana in early adolescence (Volkow, Baler,
Compton, & Weissc 2014). (from Introduction)
