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:

To debunk the misconception that it's safe for teenagers to use cannabis, we need a reason related to the harm or lack of safety for teenagers.

• Option 1: Talks about legality, not safety for teens, so not relevant to debunking safety.
• Option 2: States the teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain. This shows that cannabis is less safe for teens (due to their brain's sensitivity), directly addressing the safety misconception.
• Option 3: Discusses synthetic cannabinoids, not natural cannabis use by teens, so not focused on teen cannabis safety.
• Option 4: Talks about medical use, not safety of teen recreational use, so not relevant.

Answer:

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