Drug Use Among Teens Declining
About this article
Drug use is at its lowest levels since the mid-1990's.
In a recent government survey, high school students' responses indicate a downward trend in illicit drug use. From cigarettes, to alcohol, marijuana to LSD, illicit drug use has either declined or remained steady. There has been an increase in the use of two drugs, however: crack among 10th graders and sedatives among seniors.
