Notes de l'éditeur
Illicit – could be using someone else’s prescription for a medical reason or your own prescription not as prescribed, both are illegal no matter the motive Non-medical use – distinguishes people using for recreational purposes from those using illegally but for a legitimate reason Recreational use seems to be more related to negative consequences and addiction than self-medication Disclaimer for statistics : lots of variation in the research, important to look at your own campus data These statistics come from published research, Monitoring the Future, National Survey of Drug Use & Health, and other sources listed in the notes.
