A new survey from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that marijuana use among young people is on the rise.


The NIH 2013 Monitoring the Future Survey measures drug use and opinions among eighth-, 10th- and 12th-graders in the U.S.


This year, the major finding shows that the number of high schoolers who think marijuana is dangerous has continued to drop over the past decade.


The survey also looked at where teens are getting marijuana, and the survey showed that increased availability of the drug, for medical purposes, may be fueling rising rates among teens.
