Interesting Facts and Statistics:

More than one fifth (23.3 percent) of persons aged 12 or older participated in binge drinking (having five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the 30 days prior to the survey) in 2007. This translates to about 57.8 million people, similar to the estimate in 2006.

In 2005, adults with MDE in the past year were more likely than those without MDE to have used an illegal drug in the past year (26.8 vs. 12.7 percent). A similar pattern was observed for specific types of past year illegal drug use, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, and the nonmedical use of prescription-type psychotherapeutics.

The average annual incidence of marijuana in 2002 (averaged over the most recent 2 years and expressed as a percentage or rate per 100 person years of exposure) for all persons aged 12 or older was highest for Alaska (2.8) (Table A.4). The top fifth was comprised mostly of States from the West (five) and from the Northeast (four). Eight States ranked in the top fifth for marijuana incidence in the 12 or older age group also ranked in the top fifth for current marijuana use (Alaska, Colorado, District of Columbia, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont). Because most initiation of marijuana takes place at age 25 or earlier (Gfroerer, Wu, & Penne, 2002), the rates of initiation in the 26 or older age group were much lower than those in the 12 to 17 and 18 to 25 age groups: 0.1, 6.9, and 6.8, respectively (Table A.4). The District of Columbia reported the highest rate among teens aged 12 to 17 (9.4), while New Hampshire reported the highest rate among persons aged 18 to 25 (11.8). In the 12 or older age group, eight States from the South were ranked in the lowest fifth for incidence of marijuana.

Taken orally, the effects of Dilaudid can be felt more gradually; when it is taken intravenously the effects are immediate.

In 2008, 11.1 percent of teens aged 12 to 17 reported that they had participated in substance use prevention programs outside of school within the past year. This was lower than the percentage reported in 2002 (12.7 percent). Almost four fifths (78.0 percent) reported having seen or heard drug or alcohol prevention messages from sources outside of school, lower than in 2002 when the percentage was 83.2 percent. The percentage of school-enrolled teens reporting that they had seen or heard prevention messages at school also declined during this period, from 78.8 to 75.9 percent.

In some cases, tablets sold as ecstasy do not contain any Ecstasy at all and may contain an assortment of undesirable drugs and substances, such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, talcum powder, etc.
