Prescription drugs
A) are only used by a small number of illicit users.
B) are only used by illicit users if "street" drugs are unavailable.
C) are non-addictive.
D) are second only to marijuana as the most commonly abused drug.
Answer: D
Rationale: Prescription drugs are now second only to marijuana as the most commonly abused drug among illicit users. In 2009, seven million Americans reported having used prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons within the month prior to the survey. This number is actually higher than cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, and inhalants (paints, glues, gasoline) combined. Users opt for prescription drugs because they are legal (when used as prescribed), clean, and relatively easy to get.
