San Luis Obispo, CA -- The grand jury also released a second report focused on alcohol and drug prevention and treatment programs available for juveniles in San Luis Obispo County. That report found that while the number of juveniles using alcohol and drugs in the county exceeds state and federal levels, there is a wide array of services available to help those youths.

Grand jurors found that alcohol is the most widely used substance among youth, while marijuana is the most frequently used illegal drug among older students. The grand jury reviewed programs coordinated through school districts, Cal Poly, law enforcement agencies and the county Probation Department.
