TRUE or FALSE?
5. My teen is more lethargic and sleeping more than usual which could signal marijuana use.
TRUE – Marijuana is known to make users more lethargic. This may manifest as them no longer taking an interest in activities they once enjoyed. An abrupt change in behavior is a classic sign of drug use.
