And so does blind use of disabling and killing drugs.
Only if you CHOOSE to injest them.
"And so does blind use of disabling and killing drugs."
As does blind use of disabling and killing solvents.Would you
a) Ban Solvents
b) Deal with solvent abuse as a medical problem rather than a legal one?
Solvent abuse - initiation & frequency of use - IDMU
Initiation to Solvent Abuse
The peak age of initiation to use of solvents is 14, with most first trying solvents between ages 12 and 18, although 10% first experiment after age 18.
Key - Red data represents cumulative numbers of respondents ever having used solvents by the stated age
Green data represents the number of respondents reporting first having used solvents at the stated age.
Prevalence and Frequency of Use
In all the IDMU surveys, consistently, the vast majority of drug users report never having used solvents and of those who have, the majority have used experimentally (defined as on less than 10 occasions) or to have stopped using solvents altogether.
The majority of non-solvent users state they would never consider trying solvents, and solvents generally have a highly negative rating (overall - 1.49/10) by users of illicit drugs.
