Loosely translated into English : Trimbos ( a Dutch drug use non-profit ) says : "we don't see a significant rise in drug use among the youth. 9% of youth between 12 and 16 has used cannabis at a particular time". BTW, the whole article is about cannabis. Is this what you are worked up about? The numbers sound about the same for my cohort, and our teachers were well aware, also who we were and it was discussed openly in class. And we felt safe enough to be open about it as well. You seem particular puritan. One needs to remember the Dutch voted for gedoogbeleid ( laissez faire policy ) and it has been in place since the 80s.
