Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Marijuana is at times characterized as a ?harmless herb?. However, the cultivation, trafficking, and use of marijuana have a negative impact on public health, national security, transportation, the environment, and educational attainment.

Crystal methamphetamine is used by over five percent of high school seniors throughout the United States according to a recent Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey.

The percentage of the population with dependence on or abuse of alcohol also increased from 2000 to 2001 (5.4 to 5.9 percent). There was a significant increase from 2000 to 2001 in the rate for alcohol abuse (3.1 to 3.5 percent) but not in the rate for alcohol dependence (2.3 to 2.4 percent).

OxyContin use may aggravate convulsions in patients with seizure disorders.

Drug abuse and addiction are characteristic of a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug use (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite negative consequences ).Drug addiction encompasses an extremely wide array of drugs which include alcohol, prescription medications and illegal drugs.

Among 12 to 17 year olds who had past year MDE, 34.6 percent had used illegal drugs during the same period. This was higher than the 18.2 percent of teens who did not have past year MDE who used illegal drugs during the past year. This pattern was similar for specific types of illegal drug use, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, and the nonmedical use of prescription-type psychotherapeutics.
