The Washington Post (8/1, Stein) covers a new report “from Project Know, a website that connects people to alcohol and drug addiction treatment resources,” that found more American high school students smoke pot than binge drink. The report examined data taken “from state and national agencies to determine drug usage rates in each state and the District.” The District of Columbia had the highest rate of marijuana use at 32.2 percent, but the lowest rate of binge drinking and prescription drug abuse at 12 and 7.3 percent, respectively.
