Dear Krizza,

It is always a pleasure to hear from someone in the Philippines. I lived there for 15 months and loved the people and the beauty of the country.

I’ve tried to put together some web sites that might help you gather the information you require. Here’s a list of them and they all have statistical and demographical information:

http://www.nida.nih.gov/NIDAHome.html

http://www.teendrugabuse.us/teendrugstatistics.html

http://www.drugabusestatistics.samhsa.gov/

These sites contain scores of articles, research data and should satisfy what ou seem to be looking for. Best of luck on your project.

Can I ask for the drug profiles of the drugs users/drug abusers

Duration of drug taking: total= 12 years but I stayed clean for small periods of time between. I would use heavily for 3-6 months and then go into treatment again.
