The use of injected drugs such as heroin, methamphetamine and steroids is at an all-time high for high school seniors [...] Except for 12th-graders, the percentage of students who reported using marijuana in northeast Indiana was lower than the state average in every grade. “I think we can attribute that to our primary prevention efforts in the schools and in the communities,” Gassman said.

Way to set your priorities. All hail the War On Weed!

Seriously. I kid you not.

Despite your obsession of your sacrament of weed, I do believe it all is the target of anti-drug activities.

There is not only a focus on pot, they are after it all. It is just that pot is the most frequently abused more than likely, and as you know is a gateway drug.

I am always skeptical of surveys from parties that have a stake in the outcome and in surveys involving teens. Teens bless their liddle hearts sometimes are as outrageous as possible just to get the shocked reaction they so love from adults.

Not ever being a druggie I might be wrong. But aren't there some rather obvious signs and symptoms of
heroin, meth and steroid use? Wouldn't you think that any teacher who had not just emerged from a cave, just might be able to spot these signs?. These drugs are all highly addicting so it is unlikely that they would be used just one time. So I would expect signs of their usage to show up.

And remember the more of an increase that can be shown the more funding groups involved in drug prevention can ask for.
