Cannabis use is widespread among young people in Europe. The aim of this study was to analyze and to compare the associations between the self-reported consumption of cannabis products and other illicit drugs among older schoolchildren in 2006 and in 2012.
Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2006 and 2012 in Northern Lithuania. In total 3447 young people aged 17-19 years were investigated (1585 male and 1862 female). For this survey, the ESPAD questionnaire was used.
In Northern Lithuania, the schoolchildren aged 17-19 years self-reported that 16.7% in 2006 and 23.9% in 2012 of them tried cannabis products. The consumption of cannabis products in the age group of 17 years increased from 14.9% in 2006 to 21.5% in 2012. The consumption of cannabis together with alcohol increased from 7.6% to 14.3%. Cannabis consumers more often tried amphetamines, heroin, LSD, cocaine, crack, ecstasy, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and injective drugs. In 2012, cannabis consumers girls less than boys used only crack and injective drugs; all other illicit drugs they used the same often as boys.
The cannabis products consumption in schoolchildren has increased by 7%. Nearly twofold increase was observed in the consumption of cannabis together with alcohol. Young people who used cannabis products more often tried other illicit drugs. There were no differences by gender in the consumption of illicit drugs among cannabis consumers.
在欧洲，大麻的使用在年轻人中很普遍。本研究的目的是分析并比较2006年和2012年大龄学童中自我报告的大麻产品消费与其他非法药物之间的关联。
2006年和2012年在立陶宛北部进行了两项横断面调查。总共调查了3447名17 - 19岁的年轻人（1585名男性和1862名女性）。本次调查使用了欧洲学校学生酒精和其他药物调查（ESPAD）问卷。
在立陶宛北部，17 - 19岁的学童自我报告称，2006年有16.7%的人尝试过大麻产品，2012年这一比例为23.9%。17岁年龄组中大麻产品的消费从2006年的14.9%增至2012年的21.5%。大麻与酒精一起消费的比例从7.6%增至14.3%。大麻消费者更常尝试安非他明、海洛因、麦角酸二乙酰胺（LSD）、可卡因、快克、摇头丸、致幻蘑菇和注射类毒品。2012年，大麻消费的女孩中，只有快克和注射类毒品的使用频率低于男孩；她们使用的所有其他非法药物的频率与男孩相同。
学童中大麻产品的消费增加了7%。大麻与酒精一起消费的增长近两倍。使用大麻产品的年轻人更常尝试其他非法药物。大麻消费者中非法药物消费在性别上没有差异。
