Sure pillman...if it doesn't come from Soros you don't like it.
Whatever, Jackson, it came from SAMHSA and you are the one, apparently, that doesn't like it being pointed out.
You don't address it, you merely berate the messenger.

BTW, I could care less about Soros. I'm showing you the government's publically available information.
Here is what a Soros related organization has to say...that way you can judge for yourself.
Fed ‘Monitoring the Future’ Survey Shows Mixed Teen Drug Use Data
Even with the coordination of the Bush administration , the spin accompanying the release of the report was not all positive. Johnston pointed out, in a statement issued alongside the report, “early warning signs of possible trouble ahead,” especially in the area of drug use by eighth-grade students. “The eighth-graders have been the harbingers of change observed later in the upper grades,” wrote Johnston. “[T]he fact that they are no longer showing declines in their use of a number of drugs could mean that the declines now being observed in the upper grades also will come to an end soon.” Johnston’s thoughts, coupled with comments Walters made in a CNN interview on Sunday that “the trends as [the MTF has] predicted – good news and bad news – in the past have been borne out,” indicates that researchers and the Bush administration share the belief that short-term changes in teen drug use cannot be used to show larger trends.
