The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA), sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Department of Health and Human Services, has shown that since 1992, the rate of recent months marijuana use among adolescents has more than doubled, from 3.4 percent in 1992 to 7.1 percent in 1996. Similar trends are evident in the boys and girls, among whites, blacks and Hispanics, and metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas (SAMHSA 1997a). Other studies also have a doubling of marijuana use among 8th 1992-1995 Class, and significant increases in the 10th and 12 Class (NIDA 1997) showed. At the same time the rate was between 12 and 17 year olds perceiving great risk inUse of marijuana declined. In the 1992 NHSDA, 39 percent of young people that smoking marijuana once a month istvon great risk to people compared to 33 percent in 1996. Also in 1992 reported 64 percent of young people from smoking marijuana once or twice a week was a big threat to people, compared to 57 percent in 1996 (SAMHSA 1997b). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has reported that marijuana can be harmful both from immediate effects and damage to health over time. More specifically, studies have shown that marijuana, the user can short-term memory and ability to difficult tasks (Schwartz et al., 1989) to prevent treatment. The students find it difficult to study and learn. While many of the long-term effects of marijuana use are not yet known, studies have shown that daily marijuana smokers whoTobacco is not used more sick days and doctor visits have had for respiratory diseases than a comparable group who did not want to smoke substances. A person who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers (Tashkin et al., 1987). Other studies have shown that regular use of marijuana may play a role in cancer and respiratory problems, immune and reproductive systems. Heavy marijuana use can affect hormones in both men and women. Both animal and human studies have shown that marijuana to combat the ability of T cells in the lungs' immune defense, impairs some infections. Due to the effects of drugs on the perception and reaction time, users could in automobile accidents (NIDA 1995) may be involved. According to the 1996 NHSDA reported nearly one million 16-18 year olds (11 percent) go at least once within two hours of practicer an illegal drug in the past year (mostly marijuana) (SAMHSA 1998). It is not yet known how the use of marijuana relates to mental illness, some scientists maintain that regular marijuana use can lead to chronic anxiety, personality disorders and depression (NIDA 1995) lead. Some common long-term marijuana users show signs of lack of motivation and tend to be poorly abschneidenIn school (Pope 1996). A recent study showed similarities between marijuana and the effects on the brain in these addictive drugs like cocaine, heroin, alcohol and nicotine (Volkow 1996) produced. There is considerable interest in the co-occurrence in the general population consists of illegal drugs with other types of behaviors, psychiatric syndromes and psychiatric disorders (Bourden et al., 1992, Kandel et al. In 1997, Kessler et al. In 1996, SAMHSA 1996). As series of descriptive studies have shown that people who take drugs tend to mental disorders, physical problems and family problems (NIDA 1991) should have. In addition, a recent study (Crowley, 1998) taken with 165 boys and 64 girls aged between 13 and 19, which was by social services or criminal justice agencies to a university treatment program for delinquent youths involved fabric cover was carried out. Based on interviews, medical examinations, social history and psychological BEWERTUns, the study showed that marijuana use by teenagers who have prior serious antisocial problems can quickly lead to dependence on the drug. Most of the adolescents reported that their behavioral problems preceded, and were not initially caused their drug use. The 1994, 1995, and 1996 NHSDA incorporated the widely used Youth Self-Report (YSR) Checklist which ranks adolescents on a variety of clinically validated scales of behavioral and emotional problem behaviors (Achenbach, 1991). In this paper, the relationship between marijuana use is among those aged 12-17 and various problem measures, as reported on the YSR shown. This paper focuses primarily on the reported frequency of marijuana use and its relationship to self-reported behaviors.
