DRUG SURVEY FINDS MORE 'ECSTASY' USE
NEW YORK -- Teenage marijuana use has dropped for a third straight year, but
a jump in the use of the "club drug" ecstasy raised new concerns, according
to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America's annual report.
Use of ecstasy, a favorite at dance clubs and raves, has doubled among teens
since 1995, the survey found. One in 10 teens has experimented with the
drug.
Teen marijuana use showed its continued decline since 1997, when 44 percent
of those surveyed said they had used the drug. The 40 percent of teens said
they had tried marijuana in the current survey.
