Facts
- The drugging of children with Ritalin, another highly addictive central nervous system stimulant, continues with increasing regularity and controversy with Ritalin use nearing a world record. In the United States, usage of Ritalin increased an estimated 70% between 1990 and 1998. Is it a question of "hook" them young and they are customers for life to addictive prescription drugs including tranquillizers, sleeping pills and anti-depressants?
- When a prescription drug is abused repeatedly the long term effect results in changes in the user's brain causing them to suffer drug cravings just as a person addicted to illicit drugs would.
- Texas street drug dealers are selling narcotic cough syrup for $640-$1,360 a pint. The same prescription medication costs $12 a pint when purchased legally from a pharmacy.
- In 2008, a Department of Defense survey showed that one in nine active-duty service members (11 percent) reported past-month prescription drug misuse.
