Although there was no significant change between 2004 and 2005 in the number of past year initiates of LSD or Ecstasy, there were declines between 2002 and 2003. The number of past year LSD initiates among persons aged 12 or older was 338,000 in 2002, 200,000 in 2003, 235,000 in 2004, and 243,000 in 2005. The number of Ecstasy initiates in the past year was 1.2 million in 2002, 642,000 in 2003, 607,000 in 2004, and 615,000 in 2005. Most (65.9 percent) of the recent Ecstasy initiates in 2005 were aged 18 or older at the time they first used Ecstasy. Among past year initiates aged 12 to 49, the average age at initiation of Ecstasy in 2005 was 20.7 years.

In 2008, underage current alcohol use rates were higher in small metropolitan areas (27.9 percent) compared with large metropolitan areas (25.9 percent) and similar in large metropolitan areas and nonmetropolitan areas (25.3 percent). The rate in nonmetropolitan areas decreased from 2007, when it was 28.8 percent.

Among teens aged 12 to 17, there were 1.2 million (4.8 percent) who needed treatment for an illegal drug use problem in 2008.

A majority of teens aged 12 to 17 (90.8 percent) in 2008 reported that their parents would strongly disapprove of their trying marijuana or hashish once or twice.

The number of unemployed illegal drug users increased from 1.3 million in 2007 to 1.8 million in 2008, primarily because of an overall increase in the number of unemployed persons.
