This downloadable PDF is a compilation of an extensive collection of charts that present the findings of decades of massive government survey data in a way that provides a more accurate and illuminating picture of drug use than is typically presented in popular media or reflected in our drug policies.
Originally created by nonresident contributing expert Brian C. Bennett and updated by the Baker Institute’s Drug Policy Program, these charts trace the pattern of the use and abuse of individual drugs over (in most cases) more than 40 years. For the full research project and a more detailed gallery of the charts, please visit http://bakerinstitute.org/bennett-charts/.
These charts were updated in July 2017 to reflect the most current available data.
