A
recent study
saying marijuana use is now at a 30-year high for 12th graders. In
fact, pot use is up for 8th and 10th graders too according to the study
conducted by University of Michigan’s
Institute for Social Research. They’ve been tracking teenage drug and alcohol use of 8th, 10th and 12th graders since 1975. The
California Department of Education’s
Healthy Kids report
according to its 2010 survey of Palo Alto high school students,
69 percent claimed they had never tried marijuana – ever. But nearly
three-quarters of them believed their peers had.
The good (and somewhat surprising) news is that there has been a
long-term gradual decline of alcohol use. It reached an all-time low
this year & the bad news; more kids are getting stoned than ever
before: 43 percent of high school seniors reported having tried
marijuana at least once. Nearly six percent of them reported daily use
of the drug.
