    Interesting Facts and Statistics:

    In 2001, an estimated 8.1 million (3.6 percent) of Americans aged 12 or older had tried "Ecstasy" at least once in their lifetime. This is more than the estimated 6.5 million (2.9 percent) lifetime users in 2000. The number of current users in 2001 was estimated to be 786,000 (0.3 percent). The 2000 NHSDA was not designed to report past month or past year use of Ecstasy.

    As of 1997 rates of current cocaine use were 1.4 percent for African Americans, 0.8 percent for Hispanics, and 0.6 percent for Caucasians.

    In 2008, an estimated 1.6 million adults aged 18 or older were on parole or other supervised release from prison at some time during the past year. Almost one fifth of these (18.3 percent) were current illegal drug users, which was higher than the rate of 7.8 percent among adults not on parole or supervised release.

    An amphetamine overdose is rarely fatal but can lead to a number of different symptoms, including psychosis, chest pain, and hypertension.

    As a way of coping with undesired amphetamine effects, users may turn to other dependence-producing drugs.

    Among adults aged 18 or older with substance dependence or abuse in the past year, 15.6 percent had at least one MDE in the past year, higher than the 6.4 percent who had at least one MDE in the past year among those who did not have substance dependence or abuse.
