Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Young adults aged 18 to 22 enrolled full time in college were more likely than their peers not enrolled full time (i.e., part-time college students and persons not currently enrolled in college) to use alcohol in the past month, binge drink, and drink heavily. Past month alcohol use was reported by 66.4 percent of full-time college students compared with 54.1 percent of persons aged 18 to 22 who were not enrolled full time. Binge and heavy use rates for college students were 45.5 and 19.0 percent, respectively, compared with 38.4 and 13.3 percent, respectively, for 18 to 22 year olds not enrolled full time in college.

Amphetamine is frequently measured in urine as part of a drug abuse testing program.

Women are almost twice as likely as men to use methamphetamine instead of cocaine.

The human response is similar to that of the laboratory animal. The cocaine-dependent human prefers it to all other activities and will use the drug until the user or the supply is exhausted. These persons will exhibit behavior entirely different from their previous lifestyle.

Reliable strength, potential prescription cost coverage, and significant profit potential make OxyContin attractive to both illegal distributors and abusers.

During March of 2011, Senator Bob Casey published this recent letter to the Drug Enforcement Agency, urging the DEA to ban bath salts. A copy of the letter stated the following: ?A series of recent crimes and violent attacks by individuals using ?bath salts? have shown that these drugs pose an imminent threat to public safety. According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, U.S Poison Centers have taken 1,196 calls regarding ?bath salts? already this year, up from 298 calls in 2010. Police in Scranton, Pennsylvania report that bath salts first appeared in the area in December. Since that time incidents related to ?bath salts? requiring police response have increased rapidly. In one high profile case, a man using ?bath salts? allegedly entered a monastery and stabbed a priest. Because ?bath salts? pose a clear threat to public health, I urge you to exercise DEA?s emergency authority under the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 to place MDPV and mephedrone in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act for up to one year.? The Senator has since been publicly praised by his constituents for boldly confronting this important life-threatening issue.
