Answers:
  1. From the sources/sites i got the question i asked “how many times do teens use drugs a day?” is more on how the person is, basically this question is more of an individual question and how the teen is then a general question. but based on a survey question i did in my night school class, not many classmates have done drugs before but the few that have done drugs, do it on a daily bases but  its only like 2 student.
  2. From the sites/sources I've been on most say teens try there first drug between the ages of 12-15 so basically from 8th graders till sophomore or(10th grade) year an average of 70% of teens in that age group try there first drug as a teen it also says most of their first drug tried is marijuana.
  3. http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/media-guide/most-commonly-used-addictive-drugs in this site it says marijuana is the most commonly used drug some of the side affects are stated in the site such as these “impairs short-term memory and learning, the ability to focus, and coordination. It also increases heart rate, can harm the lungs, and may increase the risk of psychosis in vulnerable people.”
  4. it depends on your location and who you know in order to determine how easy getting drugs are;also determines what your looking for. i did still try and do research on it and i in my fifth site i did find that el chapo runs almost all drugs in Chicago and runs thru major Chicago gangs such as “gangster disciples.”  meaning wherever there's gangs there is drugs.
  5. in research I've done it says the most addictive drug is heroin even though it may not be the most used it is one of the most addictive. in this site http://luxury.rehabs.com/drug-addiction/what-is-the-most-addictive-drug/ it states that “it can be addictive after just one use. it is easily tolerated, meaning the body will continue to want more and more each time, which can result in an overdose.”   

Results: on the school survey 20% of the students said they had used drugs and 80% of students said they have not done drugs
