question 2 of 6
some may think that its safe for teenagers to use cannabis. which of the following can most effectively debunk that misconception?
○ while cannabis laws vary by state, its illegal under federal law.
○ the teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain.
○ synthetic cannabinoids can have life-threatening health consequences.
○ cannabis has been proven to work in treating only a few medical problems.

Explanation:

The misconception is that cannabis is safe for teenagers. The fact that the teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain directly addresses why it is not safe, as this sensitivity means greater risk of harm from cannabis use in teens, effectively debunking the misconception. The other options focus on legality, synthetic cannabinoid risks, or medical uses, which do not directly counter the claim that cannabis is safe for teenagers.

Answer:

○ The teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain.
