I think you are seeing the result of the "war on drugs" there. I went to high school from 88 to 92 and we must have had at least one drug forum a month at my school. Plus I remember even a huge Pepsi sponsored one that rolled through each year.

The war on drugs may have not stopped trafficking so much but it may have stopped a number of first time folks or people on the fence if you will.
