Los Angeles: Which is the worst thing for your 17-year-old to do? Drink beer? Smoke pot? Watch porn? Or play Grand Theft Auto?
While marijuana took the No 1 spot of worst offenders, GTA finished second in an online poll of 1 650 people by What They Play, a site that reviews games from parents' perspective.
Pot smoking was listed by 50% of respondents as the thing that would most concern them if their 17-year-old did it during a sleepover at a friend's house.
Next were GTA with 19%, watching porn with 17% and drinking beer with 14%.
