14. National Instituite of Health. “Regular marijuana use by teens continues to be a concern.” NIDA. 19 Dec.
2012. Web. 11 Jan. 2013.
teens, young adults, marijuana
Write your search strategy here and describe why you used those techniques (Refer to examples on reverse):
teen* or “young adult” and marijuana site:.gov
I used teen* or “young adult” to get all of the articles describing this age group. Teen*
gives me articles using the keyword teenagers, teens, teen. Using “young adult” locks
those 2 words together. I used site:.gov to get websites only written by government
departments
I found out that the use of marijuana by teens is continuing to rise, and that an
increasing number of teens do not think that marijuana is harmful.
