Among Mecklenburg county’s junior and senior high students, most of the increase in drug use be tween 1969 and 1979 was from methaqualone and in halants. They both in creased by 3.9 percent the report said. Between 1977 and 1979 those who have used me thaqualone doubled from 5 6 percent to 9.5 percent Cigarette and alcohol use declined in 1979 when com pared with 1977 observa tions. Student exposure to alcohol, however, (stu dents who have tried the drug) increased from 49 percent in 1972 to 60.5 per cent in 1977. Marijuana users have in creased from 8.2 percent in 1969 to 41.4 percent in 1979. Comparing the three social drugs, marijuana's popularity has been great er than alcohol or cigar ettes. With harder drugs, the largest increases have I Second In A Series been with methaquaione and inhalants, followed by cocaine, amphetamines, hallucinogens, opiates, Drc>. needle and barbitu ates. Student hard drug use peaked in 1974, was fol lowed by a decline in 1977 and by 1979 it rose again Concerning how often drugs are used, alcohol claimed the largest num ber of current users with 36 percent in the 1979 survey. (Previous figures were stu dents who have ever tried the drug even if just once Current users are those w ho take the drug regular ly). They use it an average of once or twice a month most often. Although more students have tried cigarettes than marijuana, a larger pro portion (25.7 percent i pre sently use marijuana, com pared to 22.3 percent which use cigarettes, according to the 1979 study. A majority <8.4 percent; use marijuana once or twice weekly, whereas the average smoker uses ci garettes once or twice a day. One-third of the students in grades 7-12 presently Use alcohol and a quarter use marijuana and cigarettes. indications are mat al though more students are exposed to cigarettes than marijuana, but a larger proportion of students use marijuana over cigarettes Dr Kim credited mass ive public information link ing tobacco with cancer, as making cigarettes appear less attractive. “Marijuana on the other hand," he said, "is con ceived by the general pu blic as producing no ap parent physical damages." Current users of harder drugs number less than 4 percent for each substance and are used once or twice a month on an average Hard drugs appeal to fewer students than the social drugs, the study surmised. “Children are socialized that drug use is bad," Dr Kim explained "The more we know of the effect of a drug the more likely it is to become a deterrant," he pointed out This theory appears to hold true for the majority, yet the upswing in hard drug use indicates another principle in effect Dr Kim calls it reward vs punish ment. For some youths the tem porary physical and psy chological rew ards of using a drug overshadows the punishment or detrimental consequences. Drug use can be influ enced by peer pressure, society, school or parents, and positive or negative re inforcement, Dr Kim con tinued Some youths find drugs fulfill psychological needs, gives them a feeling of self esteem and well-being and is worth whatever consequences it brings them Next we will compare local figures with the national average and dis cuss student drug use pat terns and grade levels it Southern Living Show Ideas For Townhouse Living Does this souna laum iar?
