Why should you be concerned if you find marijuana, such as the processed type pictured here, in your child's room? First of all, this is a large amount of weed for a teenager to have. If you find this much pot, that means your teen is heavily involved in using and possibly trafficking marijuana. Secondly, young people who do not smoke marijuana end up with a better quality of life and higher levels of educational achievement than their peers who do smoke marijuana, according to researchers at the Rand Corporation's Drug Policy Research Center.
