Excerpt
Excerpt: The use of illicit drugs, particularly marijuana, is a problem among our nation?s youth. The adverse effects of illicit drug use play a role in school failure, violence, and antisocial and self-destructive behavior. A recent national survey1 showed that for 1996 through 2002, more than 30 percent of tenth and twelfth grade students reported using marijuana in the past year. Further, about 20 percent of high school seniors reported using marijuana within the past 30 days. In fiscal year 2000, the federal government spent over $2. billion on illicit drug use prevention activities for youth, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).
