Figures show that 38 % of 15 and 16 year olds in the UK had tried cannabis – one of the highest rates in European. On average there is a ratio of teenagers that drug abuse at the age of 15-18 (male/female=3:1).

Men are more likely to take illegal drugs than women, last year on account of the people caught in action-an average was made from the national health service that (men= 13.7%, women =7.4%.)- the ratio here is just under 2:1(not as frequent for the females compared to the female teenagers). The main statistic I found is that 25.2% of England and Wales population have taken drugs that just over a quarter of the population 11.75% of which is teenagers.
