is conducted every other year to monitor teen drug and alcohol use, mental health, bullying, sexual activity and other adolescent issues. After contacting nearly 107,000 students at 340 schools in 51 counties across the state, the survey found that 13.3 percent of high school students admitted to using marijuana once or more in the past thirty days, down from 20.6 percent in 2019 and 21.2 percent in 2015.
In 2019, 35.8 percent of high-schoolers said they had used marijuana at least once in their lives. By 2021, that number had dropped to 26.1 percent, the CDPHE notes., the national rate of marijuana use within the past thirty days among twelfth-graders across the country was 19.5 percent in 2021; it was 10.1 percent among tenth-graders.
Although overall consumption is dropping among Colorado high-schoolers, the number of students consuming extracted marijuana products with high amounts of THC stayed relatively flat in 2021, survey results show. According to the CDPHE, 49.2 percent of high school students who'd consumed marijuana in the past thirty days reported dabbing as one of their consumption methods.
Commercial marijuana concentrates can consist of 60 to upwards of 90 percent THC; they're generally vaporized or inhaled over high heat in a process known as dabbing, which has proven to affect developing brains in users under 25 years of age.Dabbing among Colorado youth and the potency of commercial marijuana products became hot topics at the State Legislature in 2021, with teenage medical marijuana patients viewed as potential suppliers to high-schoolers.
Notable counties among the thirteen that didn't participate in the 2021 survey included El Paso, Mesa and Weld counties., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we'd like to keep it that way.
