Interesting Facts and Statistics:

As was the case from 2002 through 2007, the rate of substance dependence or abuse for boys aged 12 or older in 2008 was about twice as high as the rate for girls. For boys in 2008, the rate was 11.5 percent, which was down from the 12.5 percent in 2007, while for girls, it was 6.4 percent, which was higher than the 5.7 percent in 2007. Among teens aged 12 to 17, however, the rate of substance dependence or abuse among boys was lower than the rate among girls in 2008 (7.0 vs. 8.2 percent).

During March of 2011, Senator Bob Casey published this recent letter to the Drug Enforcement Agency, urging the DEA to ban bath salts. A copy of the letter stated the following: ?A series of recent crimes and violent attacks by individuals using ?bath salts? have shown that these drugs pose an imminent threat to public safety. According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, U.S Poison Centers have taken 1,196 calls regarding ?bath salts? already this year, up from 298 calls in 2010. Police in Scranton, Pennsylvania report that bath salts first appeared in the area in December. Since that time incidents related to ?bath salts? requiring police response have increased rapidly. In one high profile case, a man using ?bath salts? allegedly entered a monastery and stabbed a priest. Because ?bath salts? pose a clear threat to public health, I urge you to exercise DEA?s emergency authority under the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 to place MDPV and mephedrone in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act for up to one year.? The Senator has since been publicly praised by his constituents for boldly confronting this important life-threatening issue.

It is not unusual for episodes of psychosis to persist for several days after the last dose of methamphetamine; there have been reported of users remaining in this state of paranoid delusion for weeks.

Slightly more than half of Americans aged 12 or older reported being current drinkers of alcohol in the 2007 survey (51.1 percent). This translates to an estimated 126.8 million people, which was similar to the 2006 estimate of 125.3 million people (50.9 percent).

Among adults aged 50 to 59, the rate of current illegal drug use increased between 2002 and 2005, then remained unchanged in 2006. For those aged 50 to 54, the rate increased from 3.4 in 2002 to 6.0 percent in 2006. Among those aged 55 to 59, current illegal drug use showed a mixed trend with no significant difference between the rates in 2002 and 2006. These patterns and trends may partially reflect the aging into these age groups of the baby boom cohort, whose lifetime rates of illegal drug use are higher than those of older cohorts.

In 2005, there were 30.8 million adults (14.2 percent of persons aged 18 or older) who had at least one MDE in their lifetime, and 15.8 million adults (7.3 percent of persons aged 18 or older) had at least one MDE in the past year. In 2004, there were 17.1 million adults (8.0 percent) who had at least one MDE during the past year. This represents a statistically significant decline in the rate of past year MDE between 2004 and 2005.
