Five-year prospective prediction of marijuana use cessation of youth at continuation high schools

Article Abstract:

The five-year prospective prediction of marijuana use cessation among young adults at continuation high schools is studied using three hundred and thirty-nine teenage users who had earlier quit marijuana. The prevalence of quit attempts can be increased due to the need to reduce psychological dependence on marijuana and increase in the social unacceptability of marijuana use.
