Facts
The vast majority of 12th graders do not condone regular use of any of the illicit drugs. Even regular marijuana use is disapproved (or strongly disapproved) of by 83%, and regular use of each of the other illicit drugs is disapproved of by between 93% and 97% of today’s 12th graders. (Regular steroid use is disapproved of by 89%.)
Similar to maltreatment victims, who believe the abuse is their fault, children of those with alcohol abuse disorders feel guilty and responsible for the parent's drinking problem. Children whose parents abuse illicit drugs live with the knowledge that their parents' actions are illegal and that they may have been forced to engage in illegal activity on their parents' behalf. Trust is a key child development issue and can be a constant struggle for those from family systems with a member who has a substance use problem. Most available data on the enduring effects of parental substance abuse on children suggest that a parent's drinking problem often has a detrimental effect on children. These data show that a parent's alcohol problem can have cognitive, behavioral, psychosocial, and emotional consequences for children. Among the lifelong problems documented are impaired learning capacity; a propensity to develop a substance use disorder; adjustment problems, including increased rates of divorce, violence, and the need for control in relationships; and other mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
Health consequences of chronic heroin abuse include scarred and collapsed veins, bacterial infections of the blood vessels and heart valves, boils, a variety of soft-tissue infections, kidney problems, and liver disease. Pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other lung diseases are also common among long-term users, which can be attributed to either poor nutrition and depressed respiratory function or both. Many of the additives heroin is cut with do not dissolve in the body and can block blood vessels, translating into higher risk of sudden death from stroke or heart attack.
Alcohol Poisoning: The image of a drunken individual may not immediately come to mind when one hears the term "drug overdose." Yet the sad reality is that 20,000 individuals die from alcohol-induced causes, and 30,000 young people require immediate medical treatment for acute alcohol poisoning each year in the United States.

Each year, tens of thousands of pounds of marijuana and hundreds of kilograms of cocaine are seized in Arkansas.
