Drug use, particularly vaping or smoking marijuana, is a prevalent issue among high schoolers. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that 23.2 percent of 12th graders had vaped nicotine in the past year, and 29 percent of 12th graders had reported using cannabis in the past year, according to the 2023 NIDA Monitoring the Future annual survey. While drug use among teens is not rising dramatically, the dangers of doing so have. With deadly synthetic drugs like fentanyl contaminating drug supplies, drug use in teens has been more dangerous than ever before.

    Molly Roberts is a senior at Foothill Technology High School, and this is her second year writing and talking on the Dragon Press. While not “vlogging,” she is a member of Foothill’s Speech and Debate team and a violist in the Ojai Youth Symphony. Some of her favorite things are tofu, feminism, authors named David, and pretending that somebody else is writing about her. Molly hopes to graduate from Foothill with Magna Cum Laude honors, and then go to a university that she can someday use to insinuate that she is superior to a colleague. She is very excited for the possibilities that life has to offer.
