Fortunately, my mother didn't know about my behavior until I had more or less turned...
...young teen is decidedly more dangerous than beginning at twentysomething. Our research shows that the earlier someone smokes marijuana, the likelier that youngster is to move on to other drugs. Children who smoke pot before age 12 are 42 times likelier to use drugs like cocaine and heroin than those who first smoked after...
