Interesting Facts and Statistics:
Ecstasy is one of the most widely used recreational drugs in the world and is taken in a variety of settings.
A majority of teens aged 12 to 17 reported that they disapprove of their peers using substances. In 2006, 89.1 percent of teens "strongly" or "somewhat" disapproved of their peers smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day, and 82.8 percent strongly or somewhat disapproved of peers using marijuana or hashish once a month or more. These rates were higher than those reported in 2005 (88.2 and 81.4 percent, respectively). In 2006, 81.7 percent of teens strongly or somewhat disapproved of peers trying marijuana or hashish once or twice, and 86.4 percent of teens strongly or somewhat disapproved of peers having one or two drinks of an alcoholic beverage nearly every day. Both estimates were similar to those reported in 2005 (80.8 and 85.6 percent, respectively).
Teens aged 12 to 17 who had engaged in fighting or other delinquent behaviors were more likely than other teens to have used illegal drugs in the lifetime, past year, and past month. For example, in 2006, past month illegal drug use was reported by 17.3 percent of teens who had gotten into serious fights at school or work in the past year compared with 7.6 percent of those who had not engaged in fighting, and by 37.2 percent of those who had stolen or tried to steal something worth over $50 in the past year compared with 8.4 percent of those who had not engaged in such theft.
The OxyContin diversion technique most used at the street level is doctor shopping. Individuals, who may or may not have a legitimate ailment, visit numerous doctors, sometimes in several states, to obtain prescriptions and acquire large amounts of OxyContin they abuse or sell to others.
By stimulating the internal reward system in the user?s brain, drugs and alcohol motivate the addict to crave the drug to again stimulate the brain's reward center. These cravings will lead the addict to stop focusing on those things that used to be important to them, and to think only about obtaining more of the drug.
Numerous studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia.
