The latest update to the annual Monitoring the Future survey of drug use in American youth bears mainly good news, at least if your interest is in reducing drug-related harm: both teen drinking and cigarette smoking are at historic lows; in fact, past-month marijuana use is now more commonly reported by high school seniors than smoking cigarettes. Misuse of prescription medications in teens is stable or declining.
Nineteen percent of high school seniors reported smoking at least one cigarette in the previous month, compared with 23% who reported smoking marijuana.

looks like a good trend
Well said 3:06 you make some great points in that post
Couldn't agree more 3:06 pm. Thank you for your insight by helping to promote the truth. I would expect even Ron Paul would agree with your position.
What did 3:06 say? I don't see a 3:06
They are discovering (after thinking for themselves) that you can smoke the baddest weed on the planet and still be coherent and you don't hallucinate or turn into a werewolf. Or become addicted to anything, like their parents, who can't put the martini's down or the Marlboro out (but WILL lecture them about "drugs"). The ONLY thing the anti-pot people have is fearmongering and lies. It hasn't worked for 65 years and it never will. But go ahead and keep trying. Maybe if you spend another TRILLION dollars, give it another 65 years, hire another 500,000 cops, and imprison another million people, you MAY get a handle on it. Start thinking for yourself.
The survey shows that it is an improvement that lesser teens are smoking and drinking but the reality to the survey is that more and more high school teens are becoming addicted to drugs such marijuana. Sometimes an addict starts from smoking and drinking then they proceed to the usage of marijuana and after that they level up in drug usage and eventually use more harmful drugs.
