Tweeting about Marijuana

Caption

Patricia A. Cavazos-Rehg, Ph.D., and her Washington University research team found there were 15 times as many pro-pot tweets as anti-pot tweets during one month they tracked Twitter. Most sending and receiving these tweets were teens and young adults, a group at elevated risk for marijuana dependence and drug-related problems.
