the signs of Marijuana use in teenagers

Changes in Behavior: Sudden shifts in behavior, such as becoming more withdrawn, apathetic, or displaying mood swings, can be indicative of marijuana use.

 

Red Eyes: Bloodshot or glassy eyes, even when not accompanied by illness or allergies, may be a sign of recent marijuana consumption.

 

Altered Speech and Coordination: Teens under the influence of marijuana might exhibit slower speech, impaired coordination, and difficulty concentrating.

 

Distinctive Odor: The strong, lingering smell of marijuana on clothes, breath, or personal belongings could be a clear sign of recent use.

 

Changes in Friendships: Rapid changes in social circles, spending time with new, unfamiliar friends, or distancing themselves from long-time friends can indicate involvement in drug-using networks.

 

Drop in Academic Performance: A sudden decline in school performance, absenteeism, and lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities could be linked to marijuana use.

 

Neglecting Appearance: Teens using marijuana may pay less attention to personal hygiene, grooming, and overall appearance.

 

Increased Appetite: Experiencing intense food cravings or “the munchies” is a well-known effect of marijuana use.

 

Paraphernalia: Discovering items such as rolling papers, pipes, or lighters in a teenager’s belongings may suggest marijuana use.

 

Unexplained Paranoia or Anxiety: Marijuana can induce feelings of anxiety, paranoia, or nervousness in some individuals, which may become apparent in their behavior.
