Abstract

Research of attitudes toward addictions has been done among 957 high school students. Results are showing that number of those who tried drugs increases with age; those who use alcohol are biased toward stronger drugs, while those who smoke cigarettes are biased toward lighter drugs. The most common reason for using drugs is curiosity. Almost everybody thinks that addicts should be treated and helped. 31.8% of students thinks that marihuana should be legalized, while 9.4% thinks that hard drugs should be legalized. Role of school and family in prevention of addiction has been pointed out.
