Teen Alcohol/Pot Use Declines In Kentucky
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky is bucking a national trend when it comes to teen alcohol and marijuana use.
A recent study from The Partnership for a Drug-Free America shows alcohol and pot use among teens is on the rise throughout the country. But the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy says Kentucky has seen a decline in usage over the past six years. Authorities attribute the decline to better policy enforcement and education about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Kentucky isn't without its share of drug problems. Adult alcohol and marijuana use is as bad or worse than most other states.
