Introduction Greater Portmore is a small village in the community of Portmore. It is located in the County of Middlesex, Jamaica. Marijuana abuse is one of the main causes of delinquents in this community. I have been a student of the Ascot High School for the past 3 years. During this time I have observed a number of weaknesses in how marijuana abuse by teens is handled. Greater Portmore has approximately 40 households with teens. Foremost among them is that most persons started smoking because of peer pressure. One can agree that it mostly started from school. They also agreed that problems in the home also caused them to turn to marijuana. I have also observed that one major result of marijuana abuse is them absconding from classes. They also prefer drugs over work or school; they prefer using it and selling it. I have therefore decided to conduct a survey to investigate the community Greater Portmore with regard to the abuse of marijuana in Ascot High School.
