Q+A :: Meth Statistics
QUESTION:
What percentage of teens and percentage of adults use meth?
- Jessa :: California
ANSWER:
Last fall, I highlighted research that stated 1 in 33 teens (3%) ages 12-17 have tried meth.
According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, 2 in 33 people (5.77%) ages 12+ in the United States have tried meth at least once. Although almost 6% of this group have tried month, only 1 in 333 (0.3%) are current users.

I thought that said “math” not “meth.” I was really confused about how only 1 in 33 teens use math.

No Patrick, only 0.5 in 33 know how to use math.
