The Isle of Man doesn't have a growing teenage drug problem.
That's the belief of Health Minister Eddie Teare who says there is no evidence to back up such a suggestion.
He was responding to a question in the House of Keys from Onchan MHK Peter Karran, who wanted to know what was being done to tackle what he saw as an increase in the number of young drug addicts.
However, Mr Teare says there's nothing to suggest the problem is getting worse:
