Monitoring the Future Press Release - New Inhalant Concerns

From the University of Michigan's "Monitoring the Future'" December 14th press release :

Two interesting points:

  • "While use of ecstasy, inhalants, and LSD is not rising currently, the investigators remain concerned because the perceived risk associated with those drugs has been in decline for several years and may leave young people open to renewed interest in those drugs.
  • Likewise, 8th and 10th graders, who are most likely to use inhalants, have been showing a steady decline since 2001 in the belief that experimenting with these substances is dangerous. “This leaves them more vulnerable to any new stimulus toward trying inhalants"
