Adolescents who smoke marijuana at an early age are more likely than their siblings to abuse other drugs later on or become addicted to drugs or alcohol, according to findings from a recent study of twins.
The findings indicate that a twin who smoked marijuana before the age of 17 years was up to 4 times more likely to use other drugs and up to 6 times more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol, compared to their sibling who did not use marijuana at an early age. Other risk factors for drug abuse, including depression, childhood sexual abuse, or a parent’s separation or divorce, did not affect the findings.
