From 1999 to 2022, the number of drug overdose deaths among U.S. females increased from ***** in 1999 to ****** in 2022. Globally, drug use is a general problem. As of 2021, there were an estimated *** million global drug consumers and **** million drug addicts. Opioid use in the United States Among many demographics, drug overdose deaths continue to rise in the United States. Opioids are the most commonly reported substance in drug-related deaths. The number of drug-related deaths in the U.S. due to opioids has dramatically increased since the early 2000s. In 2017, then-President Donald Trump declared a national emergency over the opioid crisis in the United States. Since then, there have been joint efforts among various governmental departments to address the opioid crisis through education and outreach. Substance use treatment Substance abuse treatment is vital in reducing the number of drug overdose deaths in the United States. As of 2020, the state of California had the largest number of substance abuse treatment facilities . However, many states in the U.S. have less than 100 substance abuse treatment facilities.

In 2021, there were nearly ***** thousand deaths due to drug use disorder reported worldwide. This was the highest number of deaths recorded in the given period, with the number of deaths increasing more than twice since the year 2000.

In 2023, around 72,776 people in the United States died from a drug overdose that involved fentanyl. This was the second-highest number of fentanyl overdose deaths ever recorded in the United States, and a significant increase from the number of deaths reported in 2019. Fentanyl overdoses are now the driving force behind the opioid epidemic, accounting for the majority of overdose deaths in the United States. What is fentanyl? Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid similar to morphine, but more powerful. It is a prescription drug but is also manufactured illegally and is sometimes mixed with other illicit drugs such as heroin and cocaine, often without the user’s knowledge. The potency of fentanyl makes it very addictive and puts users at a high risk for overdose. Illegally manufactured fentanyl has become more prevalent in the United States in recent years, leading to a huge increase in drug overdose deaths. In 2022, the rate of drug overdose death involving fentanyl was 22.7 per 100,000 population, compared to a rate of just one per 100,000 population in the year 2013. Fentanyl overdoses by gender and race/ethnicity As of 2022, the rate of drug overdose deaths involving fentanyl in the United States is over two times higher among men than women. Rates of overdose death involving fentanyl were low for both men and women until around the year 2014 when they began to quickly increase, especially for men. In 2022, there were around 19,880 drug overdose deaths among women that involved fentanyl compared to 53,958 such deaths among men. At that time, the rate of fentanyl overdose deaths was highest among non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Natives and lowest among non-Hispanic Asians. However, from the years 2014 to 2018, non-Hispanic whites had the highest fentanyl overdose death rates.

Deaths as a result of drug overdoses in Portugal amounted to ** in 2019, which is the second highest number of annual deaths reported in the provided time interval. In 2011, drug deaths fell to only **, before reaching ** just four years later. In 2020, drug-induced deaths were counted at **. In 2021, there were ** deaths by overdose, the highest value recorded. Low death rate compared to Europe When compared with the rest of Europe, Portugal has a fairly low incidence of drug deaths. A rate of ** drug deaths per million population (pmp) means that Portugal only had a higher drug death rate than a few countries in the continent, and a significantly lower rate than the ** deaths pmp in Norway, which is the highest in Europe. In 2001, Portugal became the first country in the world to decriminalize the consumption of drugs. The low amount of drug deaths in Portugal is usually attributed to this policy of decriminalization. Breakdown of drugs consumed The class of drugs that caused the highest share of individuals seeking treatment in Portugal, in 2021, were cannabis, with approximately ** percent of Portuguese drug treatment entrants seeking treatment primarily due to the use of this drug class. With a slightly lower share, opioids caused **** percent of drug treatment entries in Portugal. In 2022, Portugal had approximately ****** individuals in opioid substitution treatment, which was the sixth-highest in Europe.

In 2021, it was estimated that around *** million people worldwide consumed illegal drugs such as cannabis, opioids, and cocaine. Furthermore, around **** million people were thought to be problem drug users or to have a drug use disorder. Although drug use varies from country to country, drug use remains a significant problem in many parts of the world. For example, the United States is currently experiencing an opioid epidemic, with drug overdose deaths reaching record levels over the past few years. What is the most used illicit drug worldwide? The most used illicit drug worldwide is cannabis, followed by opioids, and amphetamines. High estimates suggest that around *** percent of the global population consumed cannabis in the past year as of 2021. In comparison, around *** percent of people were thought to have consumed opioids in the past year, and less than *** percent were estimated to have used amphetamines. Drug use is generally more prevalent among men than women, but this distribution varies by drug. For example, around ** percent of cocaine users worldwide are men and ** percent are women, but women account for ** percent of amphetamine users. Cannabis uses In 2021, it was estimated that around *** million people worldwide consumed cannabis at least once in the past year. The highest number of past year cannabis users at that time was found in the Americas. This may be unsurprising since Canada and many U.S. states now allow the sale and use of recreational cannabis. The market for recreational cannabis is substantial in both countries. In the United States, sales of recreational cannabis reached **** billion U.S. dollars in 2021 and are expected to grow to some ** billion U.S. dollars by the year 2026. In 2020, there were thought to be around **** million adult consumers of cannabis in the United States, with this number expected to increase to just over *** million by 2025.

In the past few years the number of deaths from cocaine overdose has risen in the United States, with almost ****** such deaths in 2022. Deaths involving cocaine are more common among males than females, with deaths among males more than double that of females in 2022. It is important to note that many overdose deaths involving cocaine also involve the use of other drugs, in particular opioids, which may contribute to death. Cocaine use Cocaine is one of the most commonly used illicit drugs in the United States. As of 2022, over ** million people had used cocaine in their lifetime, an increase from **** million in 2009. Furthermore, almost *** million people in the U.S. used cocaine in the past year as of 2022. Cocaine use among teens The lifetime prevalence of cocaine use among high school students in the U.S. has decreased in recent years. As of 2022, around *** percent of high school students stated they had used cocaine in their lifetime. Nevertheless, around **** percent of high school students state that cocaine is “fairly easy” or “very easy” to obtain.

In 2022, Ireland had the highest incidence of drug-induced deaths in Europe at ** per million population. This was followed by Estonia at ** deaths per million population, and ** deaths per million in Norway. On the other hand, in Romania, there were only * drug-induced deaths per million population in 2022. Number of drug-induced deaths There were nearly *** thousand drug-related deaths reported in the EU in 2022. There was a steady increase in the number of deaths in the EU from only *** thousand cases in 2013. When combined with Turkey and Norway, the number of drug-induced deaths in 2022 nearly reached ***** thousand. This was the highest number of drug-related deaths recorded in the given period. Drug deaths by gender and age In 2022, 77 percent of drug-induced deaths reported in the EU were attributed to men. Half of the deaths that occurred among men were among those aged between 25 and 44 years. Similarly, the largest share of female deaths due to drug use was also reported in the same age group.

Deaths related to cannabis use in England and Wales amounted to 32 in 2023. This was the highest annual amount in the past 30 years. The number of cannabis-related deaths was lowest in 2011,at seven deaths, and since 2014 the annual number of fatalities has remained above twenty. Use of cannabisAccording to a survey, over 30 percent of the English and Welsh public admitted they had consumed cannabis as of 2023. Prevalence of cannabis use in the previous twelve months, however, was at just under eight percent. Generally, cannabis was not regarded to be as dangerous as other illegal or even legal drugs by the public. Over a third of surveyed British individuals considered cannabis to be not harmful, compared to only four percent who thought tobacco is not harmful. Caught green handedIn the period 2022/23, cannabis was by far the most common drug seized by the police and border force in England and Wales. Cannabis was seized over 140 thousand times, with the next highest number of seizures involving cocaine at 19 thousand. Although, the majority of the British public support a policy change regarding the legal status of cannabis. As of 2024, 56 percent of surveyed Brits believed cannabis and other soft drugs should be legalized or decriminalized.

In 2021, there were 74 drug-related deaths in Cologne. Berlin consistently recorded the highest number of deaths in this statistic. Figures peaked in 2000, when there were 225 deaths. This timeline shows the number of drug-related deaths in different German cities from 1997 to 2021.

Introduction

Mushroom Drug Statistics: Psilocybin mushrooms, known as "magic mushrooms," contain psychoactive compounds that affect mood and perception by interacting with serotonin receptors in the brain.

Historically used in spiritual practices, particularly in Mesoamerican cultures, psilocybin is gaining attention for its potential to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction, with promising results from clinical trials.

However, their use carries risks, including psychological distress, especially for those with mental health conditions.

While psilocybin remains illegal in many places, decriminalization and medical research are increasing, particularly in areas like Oregon. Caution is advised due to potential misidentification and psychological effects.

In 2022, there were an estimated ***** overdose deaths in the U.S. from antidepressants, an increase from ***** deaths in 2000. This statistic presents the number of overdose deaths from antidepressants in the U.S. from 1999 to 2022.

In 2021, there were around 237 thousand HIV-infected among people who injected drugs in North America. This statistic depicts the number of injection drug users who were HIV-positive in 2021, sorted by WHO world sub-regions.

In 2023, it was estimated that around *** million people in the United States had used ecstasy, also known as MDMA or Molly, in the past year. MDMA is a synthetic drug that produces feelings of pleasure and emotional warmth, as well as increased empathy, energy, and sense of well-being. MDMA may also cause negative effects such as nausea, jaw clenching, chills, and disorganized thoughts, but deaths from MDMA overdose are rare. MDMA use in the United States As of 2023, around **** million people in the United States had used MDMA at some point in their lifetime. Furthermore, around *** thousand people reported using MDMA in the past month. Although MDMA gained popularity as a club drug, it is now used by a wider range of people for different reasons. However, it’s use among high school students is still relatively rare. As of 2023, only *** percent of U.S. students in grades 8, 10, and 12 reported that they had used MDMA in their lifetime. In comparison, around **** percent of students said they had used marijuana in their lifetime. MDMA as therapy In recent years there has been increased interest in using psychedelic drugs such as MDMA, LSD, and psilocybin to treat mental disorders. The use of these substances for mental health treatment is known as psychedelic therapy. Clinical trials are now being run to investigate the use of MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and alcohol use disorder. From 2000 to 2022, there were ** clinical trials worldwide in phase two involving MDMA to treat PTSD.

In 2021, almost seven percent of users of injection drugs in North America were HIV-positive. This statistic shows the prevalence of HIV among injection drug users in 2021, sorted by WHO world sub-regions.
