    I only know 2 people in my whole highschool that smoke cigs, EVERYONE vapes, no not 45% or whatever the studies are literally everyone there might be 1 kid who doesn’t and same with weed with weed it’s probably 75% or more. When they do these studies a lot of kids deny it because they are worried they will tell their parents I think it’s good we all vape now because let’s be honest teens are gonna do something might as well do the healthier alternatives



  33. mr fun at parties on March 16, 2023 at 5:50 am

  40. LaPicheAnal44 on March 16, 2023 at 5:56 am

    Or smoke both😂 In my country, Switzerland, teens smoke both.



  41. Lazuli Winters on March 16, 2023 at 5:57 am

    I mean, teens shouldn’t mess around with any drugs (besides maybe coffee) until their at least 18 IMO. I started smoking weed when I was 15. I also used dxm quite a bit. They deff helped my depression and stress, and better than nicotine would. But i know it affected my cognitive development. Too late now tho. I currently use cannabis almost daily as I have chronic pain. I have it prescribed. I feel that is the only way for a teenager to use cannabis.. if they have a medical issue that It can help resolve or treat. And only low doses should be used. Don’t have them smoke it though unless they require instant relief. My neighbor lets her adolescent daughter use edibles for her menstrual cramps as they get pretty severe.



  42. King Jacob on March 16, 2023 at 5:58 am

    Smoke weed everyday



  43. Itz Deer on March 16, 2023 at 5:59 am
