Trivia (?) of the Day

Q: What percentage of high school seniors said marijuana was "fairly" or "very" easy to obtain?

A: 88%. Moreover, more than one-third of teens ages 14-17 say they could purchase marijuana within a five-block radius of their home.

Another fact - More teens enter treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana dependency than for all other illicit drugs (cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, alcohol) combined. Among those who have used the drug at least five times, the rates of marijuana dependence are estimated at 20-30 percent.
