BRAVE NEW POT WORLD: ONGOING STUDY OF TEEN USAGE IS RIGHT ON
So the federal government shows that the percentage of high schoolers
who smoke marijuana is slowly rising even though their use of alcohol
and tobacco cigarettes is falling. And it's got a bone to pick with us
about that, Colorado.
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy pointed out
that Colorado and Washington are now in the process of legalizing
recreational marijuana for adults. But it wants a full accounting of
how this will impact young people's usage of marijuana -- percentages
are generally in the low 20s for older teens -- and mentioned those
two states by name.
Those who fear the feds are just using this as an excuse to keep the
drug off the legal market should calm down. We should look at the
numbers, now and in the future.
