Nonmedical use of pain relievers was the illicit drug used most often by lifetime nondrinkers, whereas lifetime alcohol users reported using marijuana most frequently." Marijuana. Marijuana is the most frequently used illicit drug. In 2001, 37 percent of seniors—well over one in three—reported using marijuana in the past twelve months. Among 8th graders, annual marijuana use increased from 6.2 percent in 1991 to 15 percent in 2001 (peaking at 18 percent in 1996). Among 10th graders, annual marijuana use almost doubled between 1991 and 2001, from 17 percent to 33 percent (peaking at 35 percent in 1997). Inhalants. Although not necessarily illicit drugs, inhalants are sometimes used illicitly for the purpose of getting high. This particular behavior is generally more often seen among younger students than among high-school seniors. In 2001, for example, 4.5 percent of 12th graders reported using inhalants to get high at least once in the past twelve months, compared to 6.6 percent of 10th graders, and 9.1 percent of 8th graders. Drug-Related Medical Emergencies Are at a Historic High. The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), which studies drug-related hospital emergency room episodes, provides a useful snapshot of the health consequences of America’s drug problem. In 1995, DAWN estimated that 531,800 drug-related episodes occurred -- slightly more than the 518,500 incidents in 1994. The 1995 figure marks the first time in the past five years that drug-related emergency department episodes did not rise significantly. The drug MDMA is popularly known as "ecstasy," XTC, and ADAM.

Many analogs of these compounds have been synthesized and are sometimes found on the street—the so-called DESIGNER DRUGS. |
