KeepTalking with him: Marijuana dependence is the body's physical need for the addictive substance in order for the teen to feel like he is functioning normally. Over time, drug dependence leads to physical harm in the brain and body, to behavior problems, and to association with people who also abuse drugs and commit crimes to obtain drugs. Mj is illegal under U.S. Law, so a teen can end up with a criminal record.
