In high school kids, marijuana use can also interfere with their academic performance, social relationships, and overall well-being. It can affect their motivation, memory, and ability to learn and retain information. It can also lead to decreased participation in extracurricular activities and increased absences  from school.

Additionally, marijuana use can have legal consequences for high school kids, as it is illegal for minors to use, possess, or distribute marijuana in most states. It can also affect their future opportunities, such as college admission, employment, and obtaining professional licenses.

Club Elevated´s message is that it is important for high school kids to understand the potential risks and consequences of marijuana use and to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals can play a crucial role in educating kids about the dangers of drug use and providing support and resources for those who may be struggling with substance abuse.
