Thousands of drugs are available from doctors, drug stores, supermarkets, and even in our forests. In fact, it is estimated that more than 400,000 drugs or chemicals exist today. Despite the fact that there has been a significant increase in American drug use over the last forty years, society has not responded by educating its citizenry on their benefits and risks. In addition, the public has not been instructed in how to make responsible drug use decisions. The Drug Information Center exists to insure that Oregonians have ready access to information and education services that emphasize realistic and responsible drug use decision-making. These services cover prescription drugs from the doctor; medications from the drug store; social drugs such as alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine; and illegal drugs such as marijuana and cocaine.
