High school students in Louisiana are using intravenous drugs at three times the rate of the national average, according to an analysis of government data exclusively obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Eight percent of Louisiana high school students tried to inject illegal drugs in 2017, compared with 2.7 percent of students nationwide, according to a report by American Addiction Centers' "Project Know." The company analyzed information from the latest Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


Arkansas was the runner-up — 7.4 percent of students admitted to having used needles to shoot up. Of the remaining states, 20 reported rates of 1 percent to 4.4 percent, while the remainder did not report any use.

I can't say that I've ever seen or known anyone shooting up.
