According to a recent survey from the National Institute for Drug Abuse, more U.S. adolescents smoke marijuana than smoke cigarettes. The organization’s annual survey revealed an increase in marijuana use among all teen groups and a slight decrease in tobacco use among high-school seniors compared to past years. Federal officials speculate that teens are starting to listen to the warnings about the risks of tobacco use but are receiving mixed messages about the safety of marijuana use. While antidrug organizations such as Drug-Free America maintain their message that marijuana impairs judgment and hampers brain development, clinical studies support the medicinal benefits of marijuana, particularly for those suffering from certain cancers and Crohn’s disease. These studies have sparked a national debate about the legalization of marijuana. More than a dozen states and the District of Columbia have legalized the use of medical marijuana, and there is a push for the nationwide legalization of the drug. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy asserts that the message that marijuana use is okay for some is dangerous. The office insists that both policy makers and the general public should be aware of the effect the debate over the legalization of marijuana has on teens’ perception of the drug’s risk.

Official Explanation
1. The passage implies which of the following about teen drug use?
Explanation
Examine the answer choices one at a time and choose the one that follows from the passage.
Choice (A) states that the Office of National Drug Control is concerned about teen tobacco use. While you may assume this to be a true statement, the passage doesn’t state this directly, commenting only on the office’s concern about teen marijuana use. Similarly, it is reasonable to think that choice (D) is true, but the passage only addresses Drug-Free America’s stance on the risks of marijuana, not the organization’s predictions of future use.
The passage mentions claimed health benefits of marijuana, but it does not imply choice (B), that marijuana has health benefits for teens.
Choice (C) is the correct answer. The passage states that officials believe teens to be acting, in part, in response to anti-tobacco warnings.
Choice (E) may seem reasonable because the passage makes implications about teen perception of the risks of marijuana, but it contains no statements about teens’ feelings on the issue of legalization.
