Book Description
Some 20 million Americans, or 8 percent of the population of the United States aged 12 and older, use marijuana, cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, ecstasy, or other illicit drugs. The cost to our society is enormous—more than $300 billion annually for related expenses such as health care and treatment, social services, law enforcement, and losses due to crime.
