Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The specific illegal drugs that had the highest levels of past year dependence or abuse in 2007 were marijuana (3.9 million), followed by pain relievers (1.7 million) and cocaine (1.6 million).

Long term methamphetamine abuse can often lead to homelessness, divorce, loss of a job or standing or good standing in the community, criminal behavior, and loss of control of over one's own thought processes.

From 1898 through to 1910 heroin was marketed as a non-addictive morphine substitute and cough suppressant. Bayer marketed heroin as a cure for morphine addiction before it was discovered that heroin is rapidly metabolized into morphine, and as such, "heroin" was basically only a quicker acting form of morphine. The company was somewhat embarrassed by this new finding and it became a historical blunder for Bayer.

In 2008, adults aged 21 or older who had first used alcohol at age 14 or younger were more than 5 times as likely to be classified with alcohol dependence or abuse than adults who had their first drink at age 21 or older (15.1 vs. 2.6 percent).

Bath salts are being sold by online retailers throughout much of the world; many of these businesses are known for previously selling legitimate bath products.

In 2008, among adults aged 18 or older, age at first use of marijuana was associated with dependence on or abuse of marijuana. Among those who first tried marijuana at age 14 or younger, 13.5 percent were classified with illegal drug dependence or abuse, higher than the 2.2 percent of adults who had first used marijuana at age 18 or older.
