ESSAY ON: Drug Addiction In Children

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: 7 pages in length. Defined as "compulsively seeking to use a substance, regardless of the potentially negative social, psychological and physical consequences" (Dorsey et al, 2005), drug addiction crosses the line between recreational use and dependency. When one analyzes the prevalence of drug addiction within the general population, the last consideration one makes is the presence of children in this equation; however, of the 25.5 million people who, for example, smoked marijuana on a daily basis in 2004 – which represents the most regularly used drug in any population - kids between the ages of twelve and seventeen made up 342,000 of that group (Office of National Drug Control Policy, 2006). Bibliography lists 8 sources.
