other opiates: probably pills (vicodin, hydrocodone, oxycontin, blabhlabh)

this is an interesting chart, for sure. i wonder if the non-white ppl just dont have access to rehab centers (insurance/price barrier), or if it is socially frowned upon, or if they just dont address the problems.

This was the accompanying photo to an NYT op-ed about the rising numbers of older women being treated for drug and alcohol abuse. The black line shows data compiled in 1996, while the filled-in areas are 2005 data.

It’s a very interesting graphic. Some observations:

• The change in smoked cocaine for the black contingent is heartening; there is a clear trend away from crack among people in their 20s. I wonder how much of this speaks to the effectiveness of prevention and enforcement programs targeting the drug.
• The marijuana graph is making me laugh, as it’s clear that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Also: hi, college!
• I’m starled by the huge rise in heroin use among younger people. I haven’t read anything about that trend and am curious to know what’s driving it.
• What are “other opiates”?
• Not surprised by the stimulants row, but it’s worth pointing out the growth there across all ages. Also interesting that it seems to be such a racially divided drug category! Where were you on that one, Obama?

Unbelievably interesting.

Marc Quinn: Self: “A frozen sculpture of the artist’s head made from 4.5 litres of the artist’s own frozen blood taken from his body over a period of five months. This work is repeated every five years and will result in a unique record of the artist aging.”
