Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Each year, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration closes down hundreds of illegal laboratories producing amphetamines.

OxyContin can decrease anxiety, cause euphoria, mental relaxation, respiratory depression, constipation, and suppression of cough.

In 2008, more than one fifth (23.3 percent) of persons aged 12 or older participated in binge drinking. This translates to about 58.1 million people, similar to the estimate in 2007. Binge drinking is defined as having five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the 30 days prior to the survey.

By U.S. law, an individual who tries to obtain an OxyContin prescription for personal use or trafficking will be found guilty of an indictable offense and liable to be imprisoned.

Methamphetamine can be ingested in a variety of ways that include snorting, by injecting the drug with a needle or by smoking it.

Ecstasy is synthetic-it doesn't come from a plant like marijuana does. Ecstasy users often make the drug in secret "labs"-in trailers, basements, and even kitchens-hidden around the country.
