Teen marijuana use falls as more states legalize

Post by Winston »

Teen alcohol and drug use -- including marijuana use -- was down across the board in 2014.

That's the big take-home from the 2014 Monitoring the Future study by the University of Michigan and the National Institutes on Drug Abuse, which was released Tuesday morning. The MTF is an annual survey of 40,000 8th-graders, 10th-graders and 12th-graders. It's notable both for its size and for the fact that it was conducted this past spring, in the midst of a nationwide conversation about drug reform in the run-up to the midterm elections.

Just a little information for all those who predicted the end of society when MJ became legal.

Not according to the students. It's increased use due to availability.

No need to worry about him, Lil' precious keeps him safe and warm and every now and then drops the leash so he can come play on the boards for a bit.
