On the recordSeptember 5, 1996
2 weeks ago, the Department of Health and Human Services released a shocking report on teenage drug use. Here are some of the findings: Overall drug use for 12- to 17-year-olds, from 1992 to 1995 is up 78 percent; marijuana use up 105 percent in the same age group during the same period; marijuana use, in just the last year: up 37 percent; LSD use, 1992-95: up 183 percent; LSD use in just the last year: up 54 percent; cocaine use, 1994-95: up 166 percent. In just 1 year. It used to be that the White House encouraged our young people to just say no. Today, the White House just says nothing about this explosion of teenage drug use. The Clinton war against drugs has been a failed war against drugs. And now we see the consequences.
