There is a reason marijuana is called "the gateway drug". Readily available and considered by many adults to be relatively harmless, many teenagers who find that they like our prime marijuana provides will move on to other, rather more serious drugs.

Many who think of marijuana as a "harmless" drug, do so because once they think of the drug, they are considering the marijuana they may have smoked during the 60's, 70's or 80's. However, selective breeding and complicated growing techniques in the last twenty years, including hydroponics and special lighting systems means today's marijuana is a lot different today.

The active component in marijuana is Delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.This is actually the chemical that provides marijuana users their high.

In the 1960?s marijuana contained about 1% THC. In the 1970?s it was as much as 4%.Today's marijuana contains a minimum of 10% THC, or even more. Which means most of the marijuana being smoked by teens today is at least 10 times stronger than what their parents may have smoked when they were teenagers.

Few teenagers will put themselves able of being around their parents when they are high. However, there are more indicators of a teen smoking pot. Parents who suspect their teenager is using marijuana should keep their eyes open for these indicators.
