Interesting Facts and Statistics:

In 2008, among adults aged 18 or older, age at first use of marijuana was associated with dependence on or abuse of marijuana. Among those who first tried marijuana at age 14 or younger, 13.5 percent were classified with illegal drug dependence or abuse, higher than the 2.2 percent of adults who had first used marijuana at age 18 or older.

Chronic heroin users who inject the drug are at risk of developing scarred or collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and liver and kidney disease.

Based on 2004-2006 combined data, among persons who needed but did not receive illegal drug or alcohol use treatment, made an effort to receive treatment, and felt a need for treatment, the four most often reported reasons for not receiving treatment were (a) no health insurance and could not afford cost (36.3 percent), (b) not ready to stop using (23.9 percent), (c) able to handle the problem without treatment (11.2 percent), and (d) no transportation/inconvenient (10.0 percent).

Physical drug addiction takes place when the user comes to a place where they need a drug in order to be able to function normally. If the drug is not taken, unpleasant and sometimes painful withdrawal symptoms will begin to occur. The only way to avoid these uncomfortable symptoms is to take more of the drug.

Marijuana was the most commonly used illegal drug (14.8 million past month users). In 2006, marijuana was used by 72.8 percent of current illegal drug users and was the only drug used by 52.8 percent of them. Illegal drugs other than marijuana were used by 9.6 million persons or 47.2 percent of illegal drug users aged 12 or older. Current use of other drugs but not marijuana was reported by 27.2 percent of illegal drug users, and 20.0 percent used both marijuana and other drugs.

Among teens aged 12 to 17, the rate of current illegal drug use was similar for boys (10.1 percent) and girls (9.7 percent). While boys aged 12 to 17 had a higher rate of marijuana use than girls (7.5 vs. 6.2 percent), the rate for nonmedical use of prescription-type psychotherapeutics was similar for boys and girls (3.1 and 3.6 percent, respectively).
