Cocaine and young people.
In 2008, Approximately 200,000 teens between the age of 12-19 had used cocaine a month before the survey was conducted. The usage of cocaine amoung young people has esculated whilst the usage of cannabis has decreased.
Why might a young person use the drug?
A young person may use a drug as they might be pressured in doing so, they may want to feel a better rush rather than using weaker drugs; like cannabis. They may have some mental health issues which they believe if they used cocaine they'd be in a better fantasy, rahter than reality.
