| Addiction trends becoming
worse |
 In 2001, an estimated 0.7% of the population
age 12 and older reported using cocaine, including crack, at least once in the
past month. Such use peaked in 1979 for 18- to 25-year-olds at 9.9%; in 1982
for 12- to 17-year-olds at 1.9%; and in 1985 for 26- to 34-year-olds at
6.3%
In 2001, the percentage of Americans reporting marijuana use at
least once in the past month was 5.4% of the population age 12 and older.
Reported use of marijuana in the past month peaked in 1979 for 12- to
17-year-olds at 14.2%; for 18- to 25-year-olds at 35.6%; and for 26- to
34-year-olds at 19.7%
Another major national survey tracking illicit
drug abuse trends is the Monitoring the Future Study. When this annual
NIDA-sponsored survey began in 1975, 30.7% of high school seniors reported
using an illicit drug in the previous month. This figure climbed to 38.9% in
1978 and 1979, but declined to 14.4% in 1992. Since 1992, this number has
increased to 25.7% in 2001
 In 1988,
the percentage of adult male arrestees testing positive for any drug at the
time of arrest ranged from 54% in Kansas City, Missouri, and Indianapolis to
83% in New York City. For adult females the range was from 44% in St. Louis to
81% in Detroit. By 1999, the percentage of adult males testing positive for any
drug at the time of arrest ranged from 50% in San Antonio to 77% in Atlanta.
For female arrestees, the range was from 22% in Laredo to 81% in New York City.
During the first 9 months of 2001 (January to September), preliminary results
for adult males testing positive for any drug at the time of arrest ranged from
51.8% in Dallas to 77.5% in New York City. |
