Studies show that rates of substance abuse are 2‐4 times higher among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth than their heterosexual peers. LGBTQ youth report higher rates of cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use and are more likely to use street drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and injection drugs. (Source RIPRC.org.)
