The Reporter, 24 Oct 2010 – According to a National Drug Abuse Institute survey called "Monitoring the Future" (2009): About 7 percent of eighth-graders, 16 percent of 10th-graders and 21 percent of 12th-graders had used marijuana in the month before the survey. These statistics constitute a 20 percent decrease in teen marijuana use from 2000 to 2007. This decline is often attributed to strong cautionary messages about the use of pot. However, the decline in teen marijuana use is now slowing because it is currently the most commonly used illegal drug. Could our teens be waiting for the big party that will accompany the legalization of pot?
