In this award-winning (Telly Award) program Delbert Boone discusses the hazards of marijuana use and addresses the misperceptions most adolescents have about marijuana. He explains how marijuana impairs judgment and skills, and can impair the user's ability to concentrate, solve problems, learn and retain new information.
