In its 13th edition, the 73 page report, gleaned form a survey of 1,002 teens and 312 of their parents state that 50% of the kids who come home after 10 p.m. say they are involved with drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, or taking drugs. It also states that 29% of those returning home between 8 and 10 p.m. say they are using such substances, yet only 14% of parents say their teens usually leave the house to hang with friends on school nights.
Here is the clincher:
The report also says that 42% of 12-to 17-year-olds can buy weed in a day or less, while 23% can buy it in an hour or less. It also says that 25% of teens know a parent of a classmate or a friend who smokes it and 10% of parents say this adult smokes marijuana with people the teen’s age.
