When a student smokes marijuana or uses alcohol or other drugs, there is no way to predict how he or she will act or what will happen when he or she is high or drunk. All drugs, including alcohol and marijuana, can be harmful and addictive. There is no magic number of drug experiences it takes to become addicted. This is why it is important step up and talk with your child, friend, or student sooner rather than later-you never know what consequences lie ahead if he or she continues to use alcohol and/or other drugs.
