Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Incidence of methamphetamine use rose steadily between 1990 (164,000 new users) and 2000 (344,000 new users). Methamphetamine incidence was at its highest level in 1975 when there were 400,000 new users.

Rates of past month illegal drug use varied with age. Through the adolescent years from 12 to 17, the rates of current illegal drug use in 2008 increased from 3.3 percent at ages 12 or 13 to 8.6 percent at ages 14 or 15 to 15.2 percent at ages 16 or 17. The highest rate was among persons aged 18 to 20 (21.5 percent). The rate was 18.4 percent among those aged 21 to 25, and it was 13.0 percent among those aged 26 to 29. Among persons aged 65 or older, the rate was 1.0 percent.

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

In 1885 the U.S. manufacturer Parke-Davis sold cocaine in various forms, including cigarettes, powder, and even a cocaine mixture that could be injected directly into the user.s veins with the included needle. The company promised that its cocaine products would .supply the place of food, make the coward brave, the silent eloquent and ... render the sufferer insensitive to pain..

In the 18 to 25 age group, the rate of past month use of these drugs was highest in Rhode Island (13.4 percent); among teens, the rate was highest in Arizona (7.2 percent) (Table B.6). Only Colorado and Kentucky were in the top fifth in all three age groups and for all persons aged 12 or older.

Heroin wears off quickly, usually only after a couple of hours, thus requiring several hits of the drug each day. Alternatively, Methadone can last anywhere more than 24 hours, depending on the dosage and on your individual metabolism.
