Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The use of Bath Salts is increasingly being reported as being incredibly dangerous. Individuals who use this substance are looking for a quick legal high that is easily accessible.

In 2006, there were an estimated 731,000 current users of methamphetamine aged 12 or older. This constitutes 0.3 percent of the population. These estimates do not differ significantly from those for 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. However, the rate of lifetime methamphetamine use in 2006 (5.8 percent) was higher than that in 2005 (5.2 percent) but lower than that in 2002 (6.5 percent).

In 2008, 56.2 percent of current drinkers aged 12 to 20 reported that their last use of alcohol in the past month occurred in someone else's home, and 29.6 percent reported that it had occurred in their own home. About one third (30.8 percent) paid for the alcohol the last time they drank, including 8.3 percent who purchased the alcohol themselves and 22.3 percent who gave money to someone else to purchase it. Among those who did not pay for the alcohol they last drank, 37.4 percent got it from an unrelated person aged 21 or older, 21.1 percent from another person under 21 years of age, and 21.0 percent from a parent, guardian, or other adult family member.

Marijuana users typically inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers, which further increase the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke.

In 2007, 56.3 percent of current drinkers aged 12 to 20 reported that their last use of alcohol in the past month occurred in someone else's home, and 29.4 percent reported that it had occurred in their own home. About one third (30.2 percent) paid for the alcohol the last time they drank, including 8.2 percent who purchased the alcohol themselves and 21.8 percent who gave money to someone else to purchase it.

As was the case from 2002 through 2004, boys aged 12 or older in 2005 were about twice as likely to be classified with substance dependence or abuse as girls (12.0 vs. 6.4 percent).
