There are now more teens going into treatment for marijuana dependency than for all other drugs combined.

Teen pregnancy went way down in the '90s, and 75 percent of it was because of increased use of contraception.

A lot of my friends were fooling around with drugs then.

Not after the big bust in '92, there's no big drug lifestyle anymore. I can't talk about it. Pretty ugly.

I just think it's shocking how many of these young people wind up in prison and they get turned into hardcore criminals because they had a possession of a very small amount of controlled substance.

We all have an interest in making sure teens grow up healthy and drug-free.

It was around the summer of 1982 when the drug problem really impacted. It became a lifestyle rather than a recreation. When you start lying and stealing, you cannot con yourself you're in control any more.

We know that if we can prevent kids from trying drugs in their teenage years, we dramatically reduce the likelihood that they will go on to have problems later in life.

Teens in the '90s had the same basic desires as they do now.

Drugs are in every walk of life - doctors, lawyers, preachers, the guy who works for IBM, teenagers on the street, teenagers in school.
