According to the latest survey of Alcohol, Tobacco and other drug use alcohol use by the Indiana states youth is on decline, but use of marijuana and smokeless tobacco is on rise. For many kids alcohol is going out of style, especially for the students in the Indiana high schools. The researchers found that the use of marijuana among seventh graders and 9th graders has increased drastically.
A study was conducted by Indiana Prevention Resource Center and was found that the use of marijuana has increased from the last year, but at the same there is a decrease in case of alcohol use. And the experts in Indiana felt happy about the success they have gained through their alcohol control programs.
The state is still trying to work on the campaigns related to the drugs since there is a drastic increase in the number of drug users especially marijuana. They also found the reason for the increased use of marijuana as legalization of the drug for medicinal purposes. With such kind of things the teens start thinking that if the doctors themselves are prescribing them to use why not to use and this makes them to get addicted to drugs.
The researchers also found that along with marijuana the use of smokeless tobacco is also increasing since 2007. And they are warning that the carcinogenic elements of smokeless tobacco will harm young brains in much wider way.
Government should take enough measures to highlight these reports. So that they can at least create some awareness among the parents of the kids and try to control the habit as early as possible.
