Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The number of past month methamphetamine users decreased by over half between 2006 and 2008. The numbers were 731,000 in 2006, 529,000 in 2007, and 314,000 in 2008.

In 2006, 22.6 percent of teens aged 12 to 17 reported that, in the past year, they had gotten into a serious fight at school or at work; 17.0 percent had taken part in a group against group fight; 3.2 percent had carried a handgun at least once; 3.3 percent had sold illegal drugs; 4.8 percent had, at least once, stolen or tried to steal something worth more than $50 (increased from 4.2 percent in 2005); and 7.9 percent had, in at least one instance, attacked others with the intent to harm or seriously hurt them.

As in prior years, boys were more likely than girls among persons aged 12 or older to be current illegal drug users in 2006 (10.5 vs. 6.2 percent, respectively). The rate of past month marijuana use for boys was about twice as high as the rate for girls (8.1 vs. 4.1 percent). However, boys and girls had similar rates of past month use of stimulants (0.5 percent for both boys and girls), Ecstasy (0.2 percent for both), sedatives (0.1 and 0.2 percent, respectively), OxyContin® (0.1 percent for both), LSD (0.1 and less than 0.1 percent), and PCP (less than 0.1 percent for both).

Methamphetamine was traded on the street as early as 1970, mostly in powdered form that could be snorted or diluted and made into an injectable solution.

Among older age groups, the prevalence of current alcohol use decreased with increasing age, from 67.4 percent among 26 to 29 year olds to 50.3 percent among 60 to 64 year olds and 39.7 percent among people aged 65 or older.
