Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Meth was developed in 1919 and was used by both the Axis and Allies in World War II to keep troops alert and motivated. In the 1950's meth was commonly prescribed as a diet aid, to fight depression, and give housewives a "boost". The US government criminalized meth in 1970 and classified it as a Schedule II drug, meaning that it has very limited medical use.

Methadone addiction is one of the most serious risks of using this drug. Millions of unsuspecting individuals have fallen prey to the illusion that taking Methadone would somehow handle their opiate addiction and then that they could simply just stop taking it.

First use of stimulants increased steadily during the last decade, from 219,000 in 1991 to 697,000 in 2000. Incidence levels this high had not been observed since the mid-1970s, when incidence peaked at 646,000 new users in 1974.

An estimated 68 percent of primary treatment admissions in 2008 for youth between the ages of 12 and 17 were for marijuana.

Common slang terms for opiates are Smack Horse, Brown sugar Junk, Black Tar Dope, School boy White stuff, Harry Cube, Mud Big H, and Skag Morf.

In 2006, during their most recent treatment in the past year, 2.5 million persons reported receiving treatment for alcohol use, and 1.2 million persons reported receiving treatment for marijuana use. Accordingly, estimates on receiving treatment for the use of other drugs were 928,000 persons for cocaine, 547,000 for pain relievers, 535,000 for stimulants, 466,000 for heroin, and 442,000 for hallucinogens. (Note that respondents could indicate that they received treatment for more than one substance during their most recent treatment.)
