However, alcohol,, cannabis and was much more t among users," the prepared by the Addiction Research Foun- dation said. Alcohol was drunk at least once a week or more by 17.9 percent of the students -,n cannabis was used 10 or more times by 11.9 percent of all students. About 16 Percent had been drunk and 23 per- cent had had at least five drinks on some occasion in the preceding month. The study found drug use was "significantly and positively" related to age, with most frequent drug use occuring in the 16 and 17 year old age group. An inverse relationship was found between drug use and grade average. As drug use increased grade average decreased. In the case of cannabis, 12.1 percent of the students with the highest grade average reported use, but 40.2 percent of those with the lowest grades reported cannabis use. Alcohol consumption was also related to grade average with frequent drinkers having lower averages. Students in northern Ontario reported more use of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, LSD and other hallucinogens. The Midwestern region most often had the lowest rates of drug use. The study notes that sur- veys of alcohol and drug use typically "under -report" such use as compared to estimates derived from of- ficial records and other sources. changes in drug use since 1979 "have probably been small and increases confined to a few drugs, e.g., "alcohol, .cannabis and LSD."
