What Young People Think Teeners Will Try Pot But Not All Like It
A survey of U S high school students finds 46 percent of boys and 37 percent of girls have tried pot or hashish in the past year with about 26 percent smoking regularly. Fewer than 8 percent have tried mescaline peyote or acid, and under 2 percent use them regularly. Reactions range from stimulation to anxiety, with many first trying with friends or siblings and fear of legal penalties dampening the scene.
