Here are some important numbers from the 2002 survey (published in 2003) and what they mean regarding marijuana use among youths:

19.6 :: The percentage percent of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported ever using marijuana. The good news: This rate of lifetime marijuana use dipped from 20.6 percent in 2002.

4.1 Million :: More than 4.1 million persons aged 16 to 20 reported driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs during the past year. That is more than the combined populations of all ages in Los Angeles, Boston, and Seattle.

4,830 :: The number of 12- to 17-year-olds who began using marijuana every day in 2002—that equals exactly 100 schoolbuses filled completely every day with young people! That’s 36,500 schoolbuses every year or slightly more than the combined populations of Dallas, TX, and Washington, DC.

282,000 :: The number of kids aged 12 to 17 who began using marijuana every day in 2003. That’s almost the total population of St. Paul, MN. The good news: This number was down from 358,000 in 2002.
