Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Prosecutors in Tazewell County, Virginia reported in October 2000 that more than 150 people had been charged with felonies associated with OxyContin abuse.

Marijuana was the most commonly used illegal drug (14.4 million past month users). Among persons aged 12 or older, the rate of past month marijuana use in 2007 (5.8 percent) was similar to the rate in 2006 (6.0 percent).

Among persons aged 12 or older, the rate of current illegal drug use in 2005 was 9.0 percent in the West, 8.9 percent in the Northeast, 7.5 percent in the South, and 7.5 percent in the Midwest.

There were 9.0 million people aged 12 or older (3.7 percent) who were current users of illegal drugs other than marijuana in 2005. Most (6.4 million, 2.6 percent) used psychotherapeutic drugs nonmedically. Of these, 4.7 million used pain relievers, 1.8 million used tranquilizers, 1.1 million used stimulants (including 512,000 using methamphetamine), and 272,000 used sedatives. Each of these estimates is similar to the corresponding estimate for 2004.

High doses of marijuana can result in an acute psychotic reaction; in addition, use of marijuana may trigger the onset or relapse of emotional problems in vulnerable individuals.

Those lower on the totem pole, such as heroin dealers will find that their financial gains do not compare to those in the upper levels of heroin trafficking. This is attributed to the fact that they are more often than not addicts themselves and are frequently in and out of jail. Also, U.S. laws and law enforcement have stepped up their efforts on interrupting the flow of heroin into the United States. They have also increased their efforts in arresting heroin distributors and heroin dependent individuals who commit crimes to maintain their addiction.
