I Need Some Recent, Reliable Statistics; Care to Help?
Question by Amethyst: I need some recent, reliable statistics; care to help?
I would very much like these statistics from reliable, recent sources:
What percentage of drug abusers become addicted
What percentage of teenagers use illegal (NOT prescription) drugs
What amount of money the U.S. has spent on the war on drugs so far this year.
How many arrests out of 1000 (or 100 or 10; doesn’t really matter just out of a number) are drug-related i.e. possession, use, selling
How many people each year die from tobacco
How many people each year die from alcohol poisoning
How many people each year die from alcohol-induced car accidents
What percentage of illegal drug addicts relapse after admitting themselves to treatment
What percentage of convicts in prison on drug-related charges were addicted to drugs at the time of the crime
Please include all of your sources. These statistics should be at least as recent as 2005, and if possible more recent than that. Thank you to anyone who answers.
I have googled these to no end! If you are not going to give me the actual statistics, please don’t answer!

I Just Recently Got My Second DWI in Texas, Can I Still Go to Grad School??
Question by DateDr: I just recently got my second DWI in texas, Can i still go to Grad School??
I got one in Dallas County and one in Bexar County…..i am a full time student and i am also under 21,i want to go to either dental school or Med school i was wondering, how hard is it going to be for me to get in…and also if any one is also going thru the same thing please give me some advice…on extra things that they might have to do or just basically overall what i need to do and focus on??? I would greatly appreciate it, if sumone could throw some advice my way
Also for my benefit i moved back hom with my parents,whom do not drink and can keep an eye on me…with that being said where i use to go to school i had a very good gpa 3.6
Another thing i want to add is….im a typical college student..yes i should have stayed away from alcohol after the first one….i agree totally….but i didnt…and that doesnt make me a alcoholic…..most students do what i do but just have not gotten caught yet…and i feel that is the only diffrence that there is between me and a normal college student..I got my work done…and then i did whatever i wanted to…i never slacked always went to school was in and still is in different organizations…did tons of community service….so for me i do not think i am an alcoholic….i do not think about it all the time and i do not need it really…i just drank it because i enjoyed a drink every now and then
and also from a financial standpoint i am fine……i have no worrys about that…the only thing going around in my mind is of the fact if i can get in or not..any extra coursework or classes is fine with me i have to deal with the consequences

Does the First Time Offenders Act Apply to Felony Charges?
Question by Joanie R: Does the first time offenders act apply to felony charges?
My daughter, who has no prior record, was rescently arrested for felony crimal treaspassing, and felony theft by taking. My understanding is that she was with 2 other peopIe that stole some property. I was wanting to know more about the first time offenders act to see if it may be something that may help her.
It happened June 18, 2008. To my knowledge none of them have had a bail hearing as of yet. I know she has not. She is 19 and doesn’t live at home so at this time they will not allow me to see her until the weekend visitation. This happened in Tooms County Georgia
