Many would like too know about how many teens use marijuana

Contrary to popular belief, most teenagers do not use marijuana. Among students surveyed in a yearly national survey, only about one in seven 10th graders report they are current marijuana users (that is, used marijuana within the past month). Fewer than one in five high school seniors is a current marijuana user (10).

These statistics could be wrong because many teenagers are not answering the surveys truthful that the schools are trying to give to them. I need to do a little more research to get some better caculations. I plan on doing a survey with the teenagers in my community. If I,m correct it will show that about 3 in seven use marijuana or have tried it. I plan on doing the survey this weekend.
