I've heard the same stats about girls being more active with respect to drug use in the past few years. Than again, from what I've heard, today's young women are prone to doing a lot of things they didn't do 20 or 30 years ago. Either that or they are more willing to admit it. You rarely if ever saw teen girls in the 70's that had extensive tatoos or piercings for example. Much less the hooker costumes they wear in this new century.
