question 2 of 6
some may think that it’s safe for teenagers to use cannabis. which of the following can most effectively debunk that misconception?

• while cannabis laws vary by state, it’s illegal under federal law.
• the teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain.
• synthetic cannabinoids can have life - threatening health consequences.
• cannabis has been proven to work in treating only a few medical problems.

Explanation:

To debunk the misconception that cannabis use is safe for teenagers, we need to show why it's unsafe for them specifically. The option "The teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain" directly addresses the safety concern by highlighting a biological reason (brain sensitivity) unique to teenagers, making it the most effective at debunking the idea that it's safe for them. The other options either focus on legality, synthetic cannabinoids (not the main point about cannabis safety for teens), or medical uses (not refuting safety for teens).

Answer:

B. The teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain.
