Answer by Chronic IL
It will be hard to get reliable statistics for the whole world since not every country tracks addictions and drug-related deaths. Also, the word “addiction” is used in many contexts. As far as the US goes:
435,000 Americans die from tobacco annually
85,000 die from alcohol (including drunk driving)
32,000 die from prescription drugs
17,000 die from illegal drugs
7,600 die from aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs
0 die from marijuana
These statistics are from the Journal of the American Medical Association, Jan. 19, 2005, Vol. 293, No. 3, p.298.

I’m a “recovering” Addict,But?
Question by lost agenda: I’m a “recovering” addict,but?
can’t seem to string together more than a few weeks before I relapse.To add more of an issue,i’m on state parole.I’d like to tell my parole officer,but am scared he’ll just violate me and send me back to prison.I’m going “crazy” with the ups and downs i’m continually putting myself and my loved ones through,yet still can’t get it right.It’s no ones fault but my own,but if i don’t get it right soon,i’ll either go back to prison anyways,or i’ll end up relapsing full time.I’ve tried meetings,rehabs,and methadone,all with no long term sobriety.Any advice or help in getting me on the path to being completely sober would be more than greatly appreciated

At this point, your best bet is inpatient treatment. How this plays depends on where you live and the medical services available to you.
