Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Nationally, 6.2 percent of all persons aged 12 or older reported using marijuana in the past month in 2002.2003. Because marijuana is the predominant substance used by those using an illegal drug, States that had high prevalence rates for any illegal drug also had high prevalence rates for past month use of marijuana. Eight out of ten States in the top fifth for use of an illegal drug for persons aged 12 or older also were ranked in the top fifth for past month use of marijuana. In the 12 to 17 age group, seven States were in the top fifth for both use of any illegal drug and use of marijuana: Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Vermont. Eight States were common to the top fifth for past month marijuana use among persons aged 12 or older and teens aged 12 to 17: Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The States with the lowest rates of past month use of marijuana among persons aged 12 or older were in the South: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. The other States in the lowest fifth were Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey, and Utah .

In 2008, past month use of illegal drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol (including binge alcohol) was lower among teens aged 12 to 17 who reported that their parents always or sometimes engaged in monitoring behaviors than among teens whose parents "seldom" or "never" engaged in such behaviors. For example, the rate of past month use of any illegal drug was 7.7 percent for teens whose parents always or sometimes helped with homework compared with 15.6 percent among teens who indicated that their parents seldom or never helped. Rates of current cigarette smoking and past month binge alcohol use were also lower among teens whose parents always or sometimes helped with homework (7.7 and 7.3 percent, respectively) than among teens whose parents did not (15.3 and 15.9 percent, respectively).

Among people who needed but did not receive treatment and felt they needed treatment for a substance use problem, the most often reported reasons for not receiving treatment were not ready to stop using (40.0 percent) and cost or insurance barriers (34.5 percent). However, among the people who made an effort but were unable to get treatment, 42.5 percent reported cost or insurance barriers, and only 25.3 percent reported that they were not ready to stop using. These results are based on 2003 and 2004 combined data.

Some deaths from amphetamines have occurred as a consequence of burst blood vessels in the brain, heart failure, or very high fever.

Under the influence of Ambien, it is common for people to take more than is actually necessary because they have forgotten that they have already taken their nightly dose of the drug. In this scenario, the elderly population is at a much higher risk.

Approximately 1 out of every 8 Americans is reported to be living with some form of an addiction to drugs or alcohol; this figure reports only known cases of addiction, the true figure may actually be much higher.
