question 2 of 6
some may think that its safe for teenagers to use cannabis. which of the following can most effectively debunk that misconception?
○ while cannabis laws vary by state, its 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 is safe for teenagers, we need a reason related to the harm it causes to teenagers. The option "The teenage brain is more sensitive to cannabis than the adult brain" directly addresses why cannabis is not safe for teenagers (their brains are more sensitive, so it can cause more harm). The other options: talking about legality (first option) doesn't relate to safety; synthetic cannabinoids (third option) are a different substance; and the fourth option is about medical use, not safety for teenagers.

Answer:

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