- "Total problem, ruined my best friend. He's off it now tho thank god!" Colm
- "Absolutely!" Richard
- "Of course it's a problem, too many people my age (21), and younger smoke weed as if it were a regular cigarette and take cocaine on a night out as if it were as ritual as checking your hair in the mirror. It's terrifying to be honest because these people that are taking drugs on a regular basis do not seem to realise t...hat they are rotting there brains and their looks by taking this stuff." Claire
- "Well it is a problem but not as major as some think, the majority arent taking any which is good. But for the people who are it is a problem that could ruin and control the rest of there lifes and hurt the people around them." Stevie
- "Is it a problem, yes. It's not managed what so ever, it's assumed by most around them that they just won't do it, nothings said to young people except don't do it in many cases thats not practical and its not helpful, once you tell someone their a bad kid or a criminal enough times they'll eventually grow into being that exact thing." Stacey
- "Yup, defo is :P" Leanne
- "Its not the epidemic the media make it out to be, just a few rotten eggs spoiling it for the rest of us." Brian
- "Drugs are for mugs." Derek
- "I dont think its a youth problem either , they just dont know how to hide it as good as older people." Bernadette
- "The drug culture is getting out of hand .. more facilities for teenagers might help by getting them interested in other things!" Gill
- "A huge problem but my opinion is that the smoking problem among younger people stems from the need to smoke hash mixed with tobacco. Stamp out the hash trade and the smoking habit will drop dramatically." Michael
- "Yeah, unfortunately :(" Noelle
