Gateway Theory
It has been widely reported that the average age in which most youth try their first cigarette is 10-11 years old. Most studies also show the average age for first initiation with alcohol and marijuana is 13 years old!
MEADA is excited to begin working on various local initiatives that directly focus on preventing those drugs of abuse among our youth and throughout our communities. Based on our past accomplishments surrounding Methamphetamine we look forward to having similar success now that a our coalition’s energy will be focused on these issues.
