Recent declines in teen marijuana use seem to have stalled this year. Additionally, teen use of prescription drugs is at high levels.
The annual survey of US teen drug use, conducted by the University of Michigan also found continuing declines in smoking and drinking.
The survey found that marijuana use increased slighly, use of illicit drus use increased, but the survey itself found a decline in overall teen drug use.
Ex-President George Bush stated, “No question there’s still work to do in America, but we are making progress. And one way to note the progress is this statistic — since 2001, teen-age use has declined by 25 percent. That means 900,000 fewer teens on drugs.”
