Drug Statistics and Risk in America

In 2005 in the state of Illinois, there are 906 drug arrests. This is a fifty percent increase from two years before that, but still not the highest it had ever been. Surely, more the five years ago, the statistics are even higher. These statistics are definitely a cause for concern among families and politicians alike. It means that either drug education is not working or people are still turning to drugs for stress relief, pleasure, or addiction.
One of the most dangerous and most addictive drugs in circulation in Illinois and around the United States is crystal methamphetamine, also known as “ice” and simply “meth.” This drug has similar properties as cocaine but is much more potent. Reported use of crystal methamphetamine has grown significantly over the past couple of years and it is likely that its low street price is a major reason for this. Of course, the fact that it is, indeed, highly addictive, is also a big reason.
Unfortunately, the potency of crystal methamphetamine coupled with its high addiction rate make it extremely dangerous. It is not necessarily dangerous because of its risk for accidental overdose, which can happen, but because of its proficiency for abuse. It is very easy for a person to get addicted to crystal methamphetamine after even a single use and it is all downhill from there. The amphetamine (and methamphetamine) class of narcotics are particularly dangerous because they overwork the heart and the vascular system. This is actually a major concern because short circuiting the vascular system can result in sudden death. Sudden death, obviously, is a bigger concern than accidental overdose because an overdose can still be treated by a medical professional.
Of course, health problems are not the only problems that can arise from crystal methamphetamine use. As the statistics show, drug-related arrests are consistent at least, which usually leads to years of working your way out of the legal system. Between going to court, jail time, and the rehabilitation, it can take five years or more to have an incident clear your record. Now, if you really want to recover from drug abuse and addiction that can take a lifetime.
