Teens Giving Up Smoking and Drinking in Exchange for Pot - National - The Atlantic Wire

Teens Giving Up Smoking and Drinking in Exchange for Pot - National - The Atlantic Wire: "A new survey of teenage drug use finds that their consumption of cigarettes and alcohol is the lowest it has been in 30 years, but that regular use of marijuana continues its sharp rise. The study found that 1 out of every 15 students in 10th and 12th grades uses pot on a daily or near-dealy basis.

The data from the annual "Monitoring the Future" report, which surveys around 50,000 eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders every year since 1975. The rates of drinking among teens are the lowest they've been in the history of the study."
