Survey: Canadian Teens Ditch Pot for Pills

April 23rd, 2009 by Aaron

Ecstasy Tablets

Houston, we have a problem. According to a survey, teens have given up smoking marijuana for pills and hallucinogens. The disturbing factor in all of this is; the study was conducted with teens from British Columbia… a place where pot has been common place for years.

It’s an interesting trend in British Columbia, as marijuana use for teens there has dropped for the tenth straight year but prescription drugs without a doctor’s consent, as well as hallucinogen drugs such as Ecstasy, are on the rise. Ecstasy use alone had increased by nine percent since 2003.

Unfortunately, the survey doesn’t explain why their teens have moved to pills.

    This is a frightening statistic, as ecstasy becomes ever more popular the price keeps dropping along with the quality and it still remains very very easy to take, pot leaves a large tell tail trail where as ecstasy can taken virtually any where. Deterring kids from taking the risk of going to the back of the field to smoke up, whats the point right, stay here and pop a pill, What I’m trying to say i suppose is that “we” as a society have mirrored such a bad image on drugs that it does not matter to a 15yr old kid what drug it is..its WRONG!! When really we should be educating the seriousness of drugs..10$ of marijuana will leave you a little hungry and tired with no real ill affect where as 10$ of ecstasy will leave you unable to sleep unable to eat and dehydrated and all in all pretty depressed…KNOWN FACT in most parts of north America allot of teens use hard drugs because its easier to get than alcohol..somethings wrong here?? No

    That is true. Even here in the U.S. I’ve seen the prices go down in ecstacy. I’m against anything that isn’t marijuana when it comes to substances. MDMA is probably one of the most easy to find drugs that teens like where I live. It’s more available then marijuana is, actually. That’s very sad. I see more kids getting into it everyday and it just brings frowns to my face. Also, beacause of this, law enforcement has been stepping up everywhere because of these so-call MDMA epidemics; I call it that. But, whatever. There’s a strain of bud for everyone and I believe that people should stay mentally healthy and away from those other/any substances. I would like to see a pretty future;too many kids just wanna live in a eternal high or something like that.
