A Vancouver Coastal Health survey has found that most youth in Vancouver start smoking marijuana before their 15th birthday, not long after their first whiff of tobacco or sip of beer.
The city-wide survey of youth aged 16 to 24 shows cannabis sativa is the illicit drug of first choice for today's young people.
Almost seven out of every 10 of those surveyed (68 per cent) said they had tried marijuana at least once.
That's a lot of kids smoking marijuana. 70% of kids smoking weed is quite shocking, even for me. I never saw marijuana until I was 18. I would never have known where to get it before that.
It's a good thing it's illegal. [/sarcasm]
