For this essay, please come up with a hypothesis that involves depression and anxiety in young adults/teens/adults smoking weed/using drugs/vaping. For example: Abuse of smoking marijuana and nicotine based vapes leads to depression among young adults/adults. (Do not use this hypothesis unless you find articles that conduct an experiment using a similar hypothesis)
When writing about this topic, please add somewhere in the beginning of the essay, that people tend to have depression or anxiety prior to using the drugs/vape and therefore use drugs/vapes as a way of escaping their reality of depression/anxiety.
