Y1 - 2023 N1 - T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - Recreational drugs (RDs), sometimes called drugs of abuse or illicit drugs, are commonly used in many societies worldwide. Not all recreational drugs are illegal, but all are capable of being abused. The Australian Government estimates that in 2019, 43% of its citizens had illicitly used a drug in their lifetime, while 16.4% had used one during the prior 12 months.1 According to the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction, the estimated prevalence of illicit drug use in 2017 to 2018 in the general population of England and Wales, as assessed by survey, is similar to a decade ago, with 1 out of 10 adults aged 16 to 59 years confirming use within the last year.2 As of 2016, almost 119 million people in the United States had used marijuana in their lifetime.3 The same report noted that about 39 million Americans had used cocaine, 9 million had used crack cocaine, 5 million had used heroin, 18 million had used Ecstasy, and 15 million had used methamphetamine. The Global Drug Survey estimates that 64% of the global population has used an illicit drug at least once.3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/11 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1195007120 ER -
