Two Sides To Everything Like most stories they’re always two sides of the tale. One side may seem right, and the other may seem wrong. The fact still stands that they’re two or more differences in the matter of opinion. In the United States they’re some states that have legalized the use of Marijuana, and a vast amount of states that still outlaw the use of it within their territory. I believe Marijuana should be legalized by the vote of the people who live within that state. How come Alcohol and Tobacco (Which cause a great deal of physical, mental dysfunction to the human body) stay legal in all states, and yet still outlaw marijuana that causes no cancer or diseases what so ever?
Some states have already began legalizing marijuana in their state such as: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington. These few states out of 50 are the only states that allow the use of medical

    Teenagers are vulnerable to aquiring substance abuse disorders. This has much to do with their functional and neurocognitive brain development and how the areas of the brain manage the child’s feelings and cognition (Wiers, Boelema, Nikolaou, & Gladwin, 2015). It is estimated that by the time adolescents become high school seniors 70% had tried alcohol, 50% had tried an illegal drug and 20% had taken prescription medications that may, or may not, have been prescribed to them. There are a number of reasons adolescents abuse these substances such as to deal with stress or personal problems, to fit in or seem cool around other peers, or just to try the experience. While some may be able to try these substances and that be the end of it, others find the substances may help them cope with things, one way or another. (NIH Staff, 2014).…

    Does an individual’s personality contribute to their health? Many studies concerned with adolescent psychopathology have found evidence between emotional and behavioral instability and substance use. Hyperactivity in childhood (Hechtman, Weiss & Perlman, 1984) and antisocial behavior (e.g., Jones, 1968; Cadoret et al., 1986) have been associated with vulnerability to substance use. It has been proposed that substance use is an attempt to self-medicate for difficult feeling states such as depression and anxiety (Khantzian, 1985). The association between emotional instability and substance risk is also supported by the fact that individuals who are considered emotionally instable often lack proper social support and thus engage in substance use to forget unpleasant experiences or to fulfill an emotional state that cannot be otherwise gratified. In summary, emotional instability has been…

    Adolescence constitutes an important period of growth in which adolescents develop physically, socially, psychologically, and cognitively (Stagman, Schwarz, & Powers, 2011). During this time, adolescents make choices that impact their health and also develop attitudes and behaviors about their health. Among these choices stands drug use which can affect the developmental milestones of adolescence. Towey and Fleming (2006) describe that drug use in adolescence can impact the development of autonomy, the formation of intimate relationships, and the integration into adult society. Drug use increases their risk at developing dependency and addiction (The Gallup Organization, 1996) and 5% of school-age children in the United States qualify for a diagnosis of substance abuse disorder (Tarter, 2002). As a result, they have poor health outcomes and a poor quality of life and this becomes an issue in counseling not only for developing early intervention by identifying…

    Some adolescents are not aware of all of the risk that comes with substance use. They do not know all of the effects that each drug will have on them cognitively, physically and emotionally. As they get older they gain more knowledge about drugs and their effects. They are able to assess the risks and determine that substances are not worth their health. They are not able to assess whether the rewards of taking drugs are worth the risks. Also some adolescents are not able to evaluate the bigger picture of how drugs are going to affect all aspects of their lives in the present and in the…
