Description

Parents should remember that marijuana remains a Schedule I drug. It has not been approved as safe and efficacious by the Food and Drug Administration at any level for adolescents. The use of marijuana by patients holds inherent risk. As a physician, I do not support recommending the medicinal use of marijuana.

Learning Objectives
1. Is Medical Marijuana More Dangerous Than Legal Drugs?
2. Should Marijuana Be a Medical Option?
3. Is Marijuana a “Gateway” or “Steppingstone” Drug?
