- Researchers in Victoria, Australia, followed 1,943 high school students from age 15 to 24 years old.
- The teens who used marijuana occasionally had higher risks for alcohol and tobacco dependence, as well for using illegal drugs as young adults.
- These teens were also less likely to go on to college.
- The ones who used marijuana at least once a week were at the highest risk for later drug use as young adults.
- The researchers concluded that marijuana use in adolescence is a predictor of later drug use and educational problems.
