A recent study shows that 60% of 12th grade students in the United States don't think marijuana usage is harmful. This number has gone up from previous studies. 6.5% of seniors say they smoke daily a number that has tripled from 1993. And 23% of students said they had smoked in the past month. Within the past 2 decades, THC levels in weed have gone up significantly from 3.75 to 15% in today's marijuana cigarettes. What is most concerning is that 12% of 13-15 year olds are using the hallucinogenic drug. But the good news is that cigarette smoking and harder drug use including heroin and cocaine continued on a steady decline among high school students.
