Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Marijuana smokers show irregular cells growth in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer.

Street heroin is widely varying and unpredictable in purity. This means that the user may prepare what they consider to be a moderate dose while actually taking far more than intended. If this occurs and the user takes a dose comparable to their previous use, the user may experience drug effects that are much greater than expected, potentially resulting in a dangerous overdose.

Past year illegal drug use in 2008 was higher among adults aged 18 or older with past year SMI (30.3 percent) than among adults without SMI (12.9 percent). Similarly, the rate of past year cigarette use was higher among adults with SMI (50.5 percent) than among adults without SMI (28.5 percent).

In 2005, an estimated 71.5 million Americans aged 12 or older were current (past month) users of a tobacco product. This represents 29.4 percent of the population in that age range. In addition, 60.5 million persons (24.9 percent of the population) were current cigarette smokers; 13.6 million (5.6 percent) smoked cigars; 7.7 million (3.2 percent) used smokeless tobacco; and 2.2 million (0.9 percent) smoked tobacco in pipe.

Methamphetamine makes the user feel energetic and alert, when it is taken in smaller doses; additionally they sometimes feel extremely confident-even powerful.

In 2008, there were 2.0 million teens (8.3 percent of the population aged 12 to 17) who had major depressive episode (MDE) during the past year. An estimated 1.5 million (6.0 percent) had MDE with severe impairment in one or more role domains (chores at home; school or work; close relationships with family; or social life).
