Kids And Drugs

NPR's Vicky Que reports on the rise of drug use, particularly marijuana, among teenagers and how researchers are still deciding on the best method for curtailing it.

Marijuana is also much cheaper and more readily available today, which makes it difficult for law enforcement to control.
