just in case you didnt understand me i said I think the most concerning substance affecting teens in my community is Marijuana because it is the most commonly used illegal substance in the united states. Its the most concerning because young people today do not think of marijuana as a risky behavior.Approximately 1 in 10 people who use marijuana will become addicted. When they start before age 18, the rate of addiction rises to 1 in 6. Marijuana can affect Brain health, mental health,athletic performance, driving and babys health and development. To solve this issue they should make marijuana less accessible to teens because many teen use marijuana

To my understanding addiction isn't only harming these teens but its also destroying their self image.As being changed to bond rather than addiction shouldn't really change the fact that teens are self harming themselves because they don't feel good about themselves. The environment around you is what triggers teens to do the stuff they do where they are grown up and who they are raised by may trigger the way a teen acts. Its not only about them harming themselves with these drugs but growing up around conflict such as drugs may be the reason most teens do drugs .

1. I believe the most concerning substance affecting teens, are e-cigarettes(Juuls).
2.  E-cigarettes causes popcorn lungs, also known as bronchiolitis obliterans. This affects the community because some teens may believe it's "cool" to smoke these electronic cigarettes without worrying about the risks.
3. E- cigarettes should be restricted and regulated to only adults. Maybe provide more strict ID/age confirmation before a purchase, so these harmful things won't fall into the hands of teens.

1. We think one of the most concerning drug affected by teens in our community is marijuana and e-cigarette.
2.This is affecting teens because people are being sent to the hospital due to marijuana overdose or someone dying because of e-cigarettes.

3) I believe that e cigarettes should be against the law e cigarettes are being sold at local stores which means its easy to get your hands on one. Marijuana is getting decriminalized which is bad which mean more teens would smoke i feel weed should be against the law unless its for medical use weed effects the immune system

1. The most concerning drug thats affecting teens right now in nyc is marijuana.

2.  This is affecting many teens because its not helping their brain development. The brain is still growing and the marijuana is making your brain weaker causing you to forget things that you should not forget. This substance makes decision making very hard for some people and that can be a problem.

3. The community can help some teens that are addicted to this substance and help them get off it so that their brain can develop.
