Teen drug use on the rise in Huron HURON COUNTY - Teen drug use has been on the rise in Huron County for the past two years, reported Meryl Thomas, program director for the Huron Addiction Assessment and Re- ferral Centre. According to the Huron Ex- positor, this was part of the in- formation she delivered at a par- ent information meeting last week held at the Huron County Health and Library Complex. At the meeting, parents were provided with information and the opportunity to ask questions concerning drug use among teens.. Among Canadians 15 years and older, she told the audience, 82 per cent use alcohol and among teens alone, 58 per cent use alcohol on a regular basis. Teens drink an average of 12 drinks within four hours, she found while talking to teens from area schools. The second drug of choice among teens, she discovered, is cannabis, including marijuana and hashish, with the use of mar- ijuana almost doubling between 1993 and 1995.
