National Survey on Drug Use and Health -- the same source that NORML and everyone else uses.

The entire report, or just the parts that deal with illicit drugs?

Why do you ask?

I'm trying to figure out what kind of methodology you're using to determine what criteria you will accept and what you reject.

"The entire report, or just the parts that deal with illicit drugs?"

For the seond time, we're discussing the War on Drugs. Not the war on alcohol or the war on aspirin or the war on tobacco, or the war on unfenced swimming pools. Got it yet?

Therefore, guess which part of the report I'm referring to.

The methodology is simple. Find a person who will admit to drug use for thirty bucks. Under a competitive bidding process, SAMHSA selects a survey research organization to administer the NSDUH. Currently, Research Triangle Institute (RTI) is under contract to conduct the 2005-2009 survey.

RTI draws a 'random' sample of households throughout the United States, and a field representative makes a personal visit to each household.
One person in the household is selected to answer the questions. Each selected individual 'represents' approximately 3,000 other United States residents. At the end of the completed interview, the selected person receives $30 in cash.
