They’ve identified, based upon the surveys conducted, that an estimated Half of all 16-29 year olds used drugs during the last 12 months. However, if that’s lowered to a marginally younger age range of sixteen – twenty four year olds it works out that 1 in 5 have tried drugs in the last calendar month.
