About the Author:
Some 20 million Americans, or 8 percent of the population of the United States aged 12 and older, use marijuana, cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, ecstasy, or other illicit drugs. The cost to our society is enormous—more than $300 billion annually for related expenses such as health care and treatment, social services, law enforcement, and losses due to crime.
Richard E. Isralowitz, PhD, is professor and director of the Regional Alcohol and Drug Abuse Resources Center, Ben Gurion University, Israel.
Peter L. Myers, PhD, is professor emeritus of addiction studies, editor of the Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse, and past president of the International Coalition for Addiction Studies Education.
