Meth Use, Binge Drinking Down Among Teens

A nationwide survey of over 46,000 high school students found that fewer adolescents and teenagers are using methamphetamines. The survey also found that most kids arent using any drugs at all, NBC has reported:
Use of methamphetamines is down, along with cocaine, cigarettes and alcohol. Theres no increase in teens using LSD, Ecstasy, heroin or "date rape" drugs like GHB and Rohypnol.
One disturbing trend the survey found was an increased belief among teens that marijuana use is safe. There is a similar belief about prescription drug use as well.
