Interesting Facts and Statistics:

With high doses of Methadone, the feeling of sedation generally makes users feel sleepy. If someone takes too much of the drug, they can fall into a coma or stop breathing completely.

Among teens aged 12 to 17, the types of drugs used in the past month varied by age group. Among 12 or 13 year olds, 2.0 percent used prescription-type drugs nonmedically, 1.2 percent used inhalants, and 0.9 percent used marijuana. Among 14 or 15 year olds, marijuana was the dominant drug used (5.8 percent), followed by prescription-type drugs used nonmedically (3.1 percent), and then by inhalants (1.7 percent).
