Interesting Facts and Statistics:

As a percentage of those aged 12 to 17 who had not used marijuana prior to the past year, the youth marijuana initiation rate in 2008 (5.6 percent) was similar to the rate in 2007 (5.2 percent).

In addition to the effects of the drug itself, street heroin may have additives that do not readily dissolve and result in clogging the blood vessels that lead to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain. This can cause infection or even death of small patches of cells in vital organs.

Addictive properties have been described in many of the active ingredients that make up bath salt products.

The number of past year initiates of methamphetamine among persons aged 12 or older was 95,000 in 2008. This estimate was significantly lower than the estimate in 2007 (157,000) and was less than one third of the number estimated in 2004 (318,000).

Illegal drugs other than marijuana include cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, and the nonmedical use of prescription-type pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. The national estimate of past month use of any illegal drug other than marijuana among persons aged 12 or older was 3.7 percent for 2002.2003 combined (Table B.6). A number of States (five) that were in the top fifth for past month use of an illegal drug among those aged 12 or older also were ranked in the top fifth for past month use of an illegal drug other than marijuana: Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Rhode Island.
