The drugs are getting cheaper, so we're taking of it. Economies of scale never tasted so good.
The figures, from the NHS Information Centre, show that 1,241 under-16s were taken to hospital for drug-related illness in 2006-07, up from 868 in 1996-97. The number of 16 to 24-year-olds receiving hospital treatment increased from 8,518 to 9,657, a rise of 13 per cent over the same period. According to the British Crime Survey, published last October, more than three million people in England aged 16 to 59 admitted having used some kind of illegal drug in the previous year.
