Drug Survey Response

The survey was taken by 11 people. When asked "who suffers the most from drug abuse" 64% said the addict, 36% said the family, and nobody answered society or the addict's spouse or partner. In response to what they thought was the most prevalent drug in high schools, 45% said marijuana,  9% said ecstasy, 36% responded alcohol, and 9% said cocaine. Third, when asked if drug addiction should be a mental disease, 64% of the people said yes, and 36% said no. Responding to the question of what effect of drug use is the worst, 9% that took the poll said physical, 55% said mental, 27% replied social, and 9% answered emotional. In the final question, people said if they found out a friend was addicted to drugs, 9% said they would do nothing, 55% said they would tell an adult, 18% responded that they would advise their friend to stop, and the final 18% said they would join their friend. The results show an interesting trend, with the majority of votes going to answers that label addiction as a mental illness outside the control of the addict. In addition, according to the survey, a stereotypical user of drugs within high school mainly has access to marijuana and alcohol, and any addiction would require assistance of an adult to intervene and help resolve the mental problems that result from addiction.
