Cannabis weed not really seen as a drug, say teens

Cannabis weed is “not really” seen as a drug among teenagers and has become “very acceptable”.

Secondary school pupils surveyed said a bag of weed would cost as little as €20, an ecstasy pill around €5, and a benzodiazepine (tranquilliser) tablet just €1.

Most of the 400 pupils surveyed did not believe alcohol advertisements influenced their choices and felt that drink sponsorship should be allowed to continue.

The research was carried out among 400 15- to 17-year-olds in nine schools in Dublin’s north inner city.
