Hello sesnjhs-ga,

I haven't been able to find data for all years from 1996 to present.
Would you be willing to accept partial data?  So far, I have found
teenage marijuana percentage usage data for 1997 and 1999.  I will
continue to look for additional data but I will probably not be able
to find data for all years.

Thank you for your effort.  The results that you have will be fine. 
Does your findings for 1997 and 1999 pertain to Louisiana?  If so,
great!  If not, I do need the statistics for Louisiana.  Send me what
you have with an option to contact you if needed.  If you think you
can find more information, but it will cost more money, let me know.

Thanks,

sesnjhs

Hello sesnjhs-ga,

I have located the percentage of high school students who use
marijuana for the years 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2001. This relates to use
30 days preceding the survey.

I have the numbers for lifetime usage of marijuana as well.

1993 and 1997 - weighted data.
1999 and 2001 - unweighted data.

Would the above information be an adequate answer for you?

Thanks
