Interesting Facts and Statistics:

It takes only $1,000 worth of ingredients to make $20,000 worth of meth.

Both physicians and pharmacies are required to maintain careful record-keeping of prescribing information including quantity, frequency, and renewal requests due to the illegal diversion of OxyContin and other drugs.

In 2007, an estimated 19.9 million Americans aged 12 or older were current (past month) illegal drug users, meaning they had used an illegal drug during the month prior to the survey interview. This estimate represents 8.0 percent of the population aged 12 years old or older. Illegal drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used nonmedically.

Nationally in 2002.2003, 7.6 percent of the population aged 12 or older were classified with dependence on or abuse of alcohol in the past year. Persons aged 18 to 25 had the highest rate of alcohol dependence or abuse (17.4 percent) in the Nation.

Opiates affect the spinal cord, which transmits sensations from the body. Opiates act here to decrease feelings of pain, even following serious injuries.

Similarly, the number of current crack users increased from 467,000 in 2004 to 682,000 in 2005. However, the change in the rate of current use of crack between 2004 and 2005 (0.2 and 0.3 percent, respectively) was not statistically significant.
