Facts

  • Marijuana users entering substance abuse treatment in the U.S. are most likely initiated into their use of marijuana at a very young age, with over 50% having done so by the age of 14 and almost 90% before the age of 18.
  • The acetaminophen component in Lortab can on its own cause a fatal overdose. High doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and dosages should never exceed 4000 mg a day. Acetaminophen is metabolized solely by the liver, so there is a risk of fatal overdose due to hepatotoxicity when Lortab is mixed with alcohol.
  • Large amounts of dopamine in the brain as a result of a methamphetamine may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites.
  • Studies indicate that women are more vulnerable than men to alcohol-induced brain damage.
