In terms of substances used recently or ever, around three-quarters or more of juveniles in 2012 reported trying marijuana, alcohol, or tobacco previously (starting around the age of 13years old, on average) and more than half (52-54 percent) had used each of these substances during the past 30 days. Between 8 and 34 percent of the youth also reported ever trying other substances, including ecstasy, meth, cocaine, crack, and heroin.
