Drugs and Teens
Columbia University made study that clearly shows that teens who use addictive substances have a far, far greater chance of becoming addicted than those who try drugs as an adult.
Research has shown that teen brains are still forming. Tobacco, alcohol, drugs---they all set their hooks quicker and deeper in the adolescent mind. One in 4 who use drugs younger than 17 will become addicted. That's scary and eye opening.
This information came from Steve Blow's column in DMN.
