POLL: KIDS' DRUG USE UNDERESTIMATED
NEW YORK (AP) - A study by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America says
Baby Boomer parents are convinced that increasing marijuana use among young
people doesn't apply to their children. The poll found 21 percent of
parents surveyed thought their teen may have experimented with marijuana,
while 44 percent of teens said they actually had. The study also revealed
that while 33 percent thought their kids viewed marijuana as harmful, among
teens, only 18 percent felt that smoking marijuana was risky.
