"ONDCP's Marijuana Initiative: Facts and Solutions"
Many youth think that marijuana is harmless. They feel if their friends
smoking marijuana, then it is cool. What young people don't realize is
marijuana has dangerous side effects. Marijuana impairs motor skills and
reduces your ability to do things that require coordination and
concentration. In addition, marijuana can cause heart, brain, and lung
problems.

Center for Substance Abuse Treatment as she hosts: ONDCP's Marijuana
Initiative: Facts and Solutions, November 20, 2002 from 3-4:00 P.M. (EST).
