This is kind of old news, but very interesting considering all the anti-drug related commercials you see on TV these days. Someone must be doing something right.

Thanks Deep. I'm glad CNN has some good news too. I just don't trust surveys like this. If it's true than drug use is down. If its not then we still have the same amount of drug users but now we also got more liars. :eek:

I'd like to believe it, but I was a kid so I know. Kids suck :loser:

I'm talking about the useless ones you see. Most of the quiet, unassuming, aware ones stay out of trouble and maybe they are increasing but since thay don't make headlines we don't know.

Just aman

That study includes illicit drugs, but what about the percentage of people who abuse household substances? or drugs considered legal by law?

That's right. If you don't want your kid on drugs then make sure they get some ritalin. :eek::flame:

Why don't we just screw em up before they can make wrong decisions:slaphead: :slaphead: :slaphead:

Just aman

Don't even get me started on ritalin and the whole ADD mess being made in America.
