Synopsis: Education: School: School life: College student:

college students indicated they d used an illicit drug in the preceding year that s up from 34 percent in the 2006 survey.

Daily marijuana use is now at the highest rate among college students in more than three decades.

Half (51 percent) of all full-time college students today have used an illicit drug at some time in their lives.

Marijuana has remained the most widely used illicit drug over the 34 years that MTF has tracked substance use by college students

In 2006 30 percent of the nation s college students said they used marijuana in the prior 12 months

This is the highest rate of daily use observed among college students since 1981 a third of a century ago says Lloyd Johnston the principal investigator of the MTF study.

In other words one in every 20 college students was smoking pot on a daily or near-daily basis in 2013 including one in every 11 males and one in every 34 females.

To put this into a longer-term perspective from 1990 to 1994 fewer than one in 50 college students used marijuana that frequently.

Eleven percent of college students in 2013 or one in every nine indicated some Adderall use without medical supervision in the prior 12 months.

The next most frequently used illicit drugs by college students are ecstasy hallucinogens and narcotic drugs other than heroin with each of these three having about 5 percent of college students reporting any use in the prior 12 months.

Ecstasy use after declining considerably between 2002 and 2007 from 9. 2 percent annual prevalence to 2. 2 percent has made somewhat of a comeback on campus. It rose to 5. 8 percent using in the prior 12 months in 2012

Hallucinogen use among college students has remained at about 5 percent since 2007 following an earlier period of decline.

The use of narcotic drugs other than heroin like Vicodin and Oxycontin peaked in 2006 with 8. 8 percent of college students indicating any past-year use without medical supervision.

Past-year use of these dangerous drugs by college students has declined since to 5. 4 percent in 2012 where it remained in 2013.

and other shops ranked fairly high in 2011 with past-year use at more than 7 percent of college students that year.

since 2009 when it was added first to the study from 5. 8 percent of college students reporting use in the prior 12 months to just 1 percent in 2013.

The use of some other illicit drugs by college students also has declined in the past decade including crack cocaine powder cocaine tranquilizers and hallucinogens other than LSD

Another encouraging result is that a number of illicit drugs have been used in the prior 12 months by fewer than 1 percent of college students in 2013.

In general female college students (who are now in the majority) are less likely to use these drugs than are their male counterparts.

There remains plenty of alcohol use on the nation s college campuses with about three quarters (76 percent) of college students indicating drinking at least once in the past 12 months

Averaged across years 2005 to 2013 they find that one in eight (13 percent) college students had 10

The age peers of college students that is young adults who are also one to four years out of high school

but are not full-time college students have roughly equivalent proportions to college students in their past-year use of any illicit drug or any illicit drug other than marijuana.

However they are twice as likely as college students to be daily marijuana users and they have annual prevalence rates of use for several particularly dangerous drugs that are roughly two to three times as high as rates found among college students.

These include crack cocaine crystal methamphetamine heroin and narcotic drugs other than heroin (including Oxycontin and Vicodin specifically).

what it is among college students but they have a somewhat lower rate of having been drunk in the prior 30 days (34 percent) than do college students (40 percent).

Unlike most previous research, the new study included a large sample size that reflects the general adult population and not just young college students;
