Idaho Addiction Resources | Alcohol Recovery

The most commonly used drug in Idaho is marijuana. It accounts for 55% of Idaho’s illicit drug use and about half of its primary admissions into treatment centers. Although it may not be viewed as such, marijuana is a potentially dangerous drug. It is a “gateway drug,” which means that it has the potential to escalate drug use to substances such as cocaine and heroin. Marijuana is also habit-forming in and of itself. Its sedating and euphoric effect leads to self-medication for serious psychological issues, such as depression or anxiety.

While Idaho may use marijuana to calm down, another drug is having the opposite effect. Stimulants are quickly catching up to marijuana as Idaho’s drug of choice. These drugs include amphetamine and methamphetamine, as well as prescription medications such as Adderol and Ritalin, which are normally used to treat ADHD. Whether or not they are sold in a pharmacy, stimulants are dangerous if abused or used outside a doctor’s prescription. Common hazardous side effects include cardiovascular stress (such as faster heart rates), insomnia, and in very unfortunate cases, psychosis.
