Marijuana and music: Pot-positive pop leads teens to toke
Your grandparents were right. Listening to all that rap and rock and "whatever-it-is-it's-certainly-not-music" will lead to nothing but drugs and deviltry.
At least, new survey data published Dec. 22 in the online version of the journal Addiction show ninth-graders who constantly hear songs extolling marijuana use have a high chance of smoking pot themselves. Lead study author Brian Primack and colleagues wrote that teens who hear between 100 and 144 marijuana-related song lyrics each day are 83 percent more likely than their less-exposed classmates to use cannabis.
