Why do teenagers think smoking weed and marijuana is cool?

[Nora☯]

that's great that you think that, and continue to live drug free, you will benefit in the long run. but just because someone drinks and smokes occasionally it wont necessarily effect them in the long run. like most teens engage in that kind of behavior because its fun to be rebellious sometimes and have crazy nights that will be good stories. i dont think everyone who does it thinks they are cool. everything in moderation is ok, as long as it is used responsibly. like i have gotten high a few times and i did not change as a person at all. i still work hard in school, am close/repectful of my parents and a caring friend. so just because someone does any of the things you mention, it doesnt give you the right to judge.
