Doesn't give specific teen statistics but breaks down number of deaths by drug and also details some changes in methodology the survey employed to improve it's accuracy. This is from the ONS (Office for National Statistics) who typically gather this information on behalf of the government for the public to access freely.
A key thing to note is that alcohol killed more people (6000) than all illegal drugs combined (around 2000) whilst tobacco killed more than 10 times that again (over 80,000). Of those 2000 drugs related deaths some 27% had alcohol as a contributing factor to the death. Another thing to note is that paracetamol and anti-depressants were responsible for some 700 or so of those 2000 drugs related deaths.
We've some very retrogressive drugs policies in the UK. The statistics consistently show the legality of alcohol and the illegality of other drugs to be completely irrational. Legalise them all OR add alcohol and tobacco to the list of prohibited substances - only then would we have a sensible and coherent drugs policy in the UK.
