People are likely to try recreational drugs in summer for first time
In 2017, according to the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration, more than 3 million people in the United States
tried LSD, marijuana, cocaine, or ecstasy for the first time.
The study used data collected from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health between 2011 and 2017 involving about 394,415 people ages 12 and older.
Participants were surveyed about their use of various drugs through a computer-assisted interview. New users were asked to recall the month and year when they initiated use.
The investigators suggest that the results could be explained, in part, by people having extra recreational time during the summer, as well as the growing popularity of outdoor activities, such as music festivals, at which recreational drug use is common.
The team of researchers suggested that parents and educators who are concerned about their kids need to educate them year-round about potential risks associated with drug use, but special emphasis appears to be needed before or during summer months when rates of initiation increase.
Researchers recommend that potential users become educated about the drugs they are going to use and their side effects.
