from illegal activities that are hurting Texans and other Americans.” He
added: “Texas will protect our own citizens and other Americans from the
criminal gangs that are destabilizing our state and our nation.”

DEA Statement
on 2013 Monitoring the Future Study:
DEC 20
(WASHINGTON) - "Those who aspire to see their own or others' children
accomplish great things in life or who want to live in a nation of increasing
prosperity should be very concerned about the increase in marijuana use by
teenagers, including the fact that a staggering 12 percent of 13 and
14-year-olds are abusing the drug," said Michele M. Leonhart,
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration. "The mixed
messages being sent to America's teens about the harmfulness and legality of
using record-high-potency marijuana are obscuring kids' awareness of the effects
their use will have on them. America owes it to its children to give them
the best possible start in life, so they and society are not hindered in the
future."
