Very cool; very useful.

As expected, PCP is not very popular compared to other common "street" drugs.

Also, I realize that booze is easily the most popular recreational drug in use by Americans (not counting Caffeine), but I'm still surprised by the various use ratios when compared to the aforementioned street drugs. Thought the gap wouldn't be so enormous.

interesting to see inhalants higher than a lot of the typical street drugs. I wonder how much of the number is nitrous

I'm reminded of that classic (and probably now never to be repeated) Lounge thread "Somewhere out there right now..."
