Casual marijuana use in teens isn't harmless. Here's why experts say parents should be 'very concerned.'

Marijuana continues to be legalized across the U.S., with 22 states and Washington, D.C., allowing for the legal use and sale of the drug.

Before we're knee-deep together in the world of thought, I'd like you to notice what's going on in your body. What can you feel in your face? Your neck? Your shoulders and arms? Maybe there's tingling or fizzing, some warmth or cold. What does the air feel like against your skin? Psychotherapies that heavily involve the body are referred to as “somatic,” which just means “of, relating to or affecting the body.”
