Study finds link between music and marijuana
Teens who listen to songs about the drug are twice as likely to use it

Teens who listen to music that mentions marijuana are significantly more likely to use the drug, a new study finds.

The research was based on surveys with 959 ninth-graders.

"Students who listen to music with the most references to marijuana are almost twice as likely to have used the drug than their peers whose musical tastes favor songs less focused on substance use," said University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researcher Dr. Brian Primack, who led the study.

Hummmm....maybe teens that smoke marijuana are significantly more likely to listen to music that mentions it.

6. f**king ridiculous
"Although it may be that heavy exposure to music about marijuana causes marijuana smoking, it may also be that those who smoke marijuana seek out music with lyrics related to marijuana," Primack said."

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how much taxpayer money they wasted on this nonsense?
