When i look through this chart its as if i was looking at a rocket that it is escalating more as time goes by. This chart shows that prescription drugs are the second most abused drugs after marijuana in the U.S. I think the data is reliable because it comes from the National Survey on Drug use and Health from September 2009. The chart seems to have the data complete and organized because it has the most common abused drugs. I'm sure this will help people to understand and see how big this issue is, and also this chart helps to encourage them to do something about it. The information i saw in this chart was a bit eccentric because it is obvious that the number of drug users keeps going up. The chart shows that prescription drugs are third most abused drug after marijuana. The most important thing this chart can teach us, is to always be aware of what our kids are doing because these substances are not just around the corner, also around your medicine cabinet doors.
