Percentage of teens who say they’ve driven after using marijuana, according to a survey of 2,294 11th- and 12th-graders; 13% say they’ve driven drunk. The findings come on the heels of another recent survey finding that marijuana use among teens has steadily risen over the past several years and that daily use in high-school seniors is at a 30-year high. Increasingly, teens are less likely to think being stoned presents a distraction to driving — a dangerous misconception. [via USA Today]
