How much did mind-altering substance deaths increase in the in the U.S. in the last 5 year span 2013-2017 compared to the prior 5 year span 2008-2012?
The U.S. (United States) had significant 35.5% mind-altering-substance-death increase in the last five year span, 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012 - - 123,368 more substance deaths in the last five year span 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012 = 471,222 - 347,854 = 123,368. 51 States had substance death increase.
Answer: the U.S. (United States) had a 35.5% mind-altering substance death increase, 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012
In the last 5 year span, 2013-2017, 471,222 people died from a mind-altering Substance death in the U.S. (see Substance Death ICD List below) - 64% of the deaths (300,692 deaths) occurred in 15 states: (California, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, Arizona, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, Tennessee and Georgia).
The U.S. had significant 35.5% substance death increase - - - 123,368 more substance deaths in the last five year span, 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012 = 471,222 - 347,854 = 123,368. The United States had 471,222 substance deaths in the last 5 years, 2013-2017.
U.S. substance death rate increased significantly 6.8 points comparing recent 5 year substance death rate to prior 5, 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012 death rates = 29.4 - 22.5 = 6.8 substance death rate point increase in the last 5 year period.
U.S. substance death rate increased significantly 6.8 points comparing recent 5 year substance death rate to prior 5, 2013-2017 vs 2008-2012 death rates = 29.4 - 22.5 = 6.8 substance death rate point increase in the last 5 year period.
Calculation for Percent Change = ((New Value - Old Value)/ Old Value )*100 = 35.5% = U.S. ((2013-2017 Substance deaths - 2008-2012 Substance deaths ) / (2008-2012 Substance deaths ))*100 = ((471,222 - 347,854)/(347,854))*100 = (123,368/347,854)*100 = 35.5%
When a person is
suffering from a addiction “unrecovered" (without protected recovery and
support), a person sometimes reach for another mind-altering substance to deal
with hard withdraw, as such, addiction increases.
Mind-altering substances have
increased in variety and poisonous strength. To understand the impact
increased mind-altering substance potency is having on U.S. families, this
report includes all mind-altering substance deaths, not just opiates. This
report includes opiates, narcotics, marijuana/cannabinoids, vaping, alcohol,
methamphetamine, sedatives, benzodiazepines, tranquilizers, xanax, stimulants,
cocaine, hallucinogens, tobacco and other mind-altering substances, see Substance Death ICD List below.
U.S., Substance Deaths 2013-2017 = 471,222, 5 Year Span

Substances have increased in variety and poisonous strength.
When mind altering substances increase in an area - accidents, suicides, homelessness and sicknesses increase due to the high/drunk deceiving effect a mind-altering substance has on a person.
--------------------------
Cap It
Without limits, a mind altering substance becomes an accidental abuse. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan announced in 2018 it will cap, limit its members' opioid prescriptions to 30 days, and in some cases, five days in efforts to address the opioid epidemic in both its state and the nation. Limits protect health, prevent over-prescribing and help decrease addiction and accidental deaths, https://www.thefix.com/
**************************
Over-prescribing:
Over prescribing a mind-altering substance, historically does not do well for young people in the area. Limits should be placed on ALL mind altering substances to prevent them from reaching a crowd of people for which they were not intended, young people.
For example, in West Virginia between 2006 and 2016, drug distributors shipped large quantities of hydrocodone and oxycodone to two pharmacies in Williamson at the same time a doctor overprescribed. As such, West Virginia Age 15-34 year old crude death rate increased to 139.3 is 48.6 points higher than US death rate 90.7 during the same year period 2012-2016.

************************************************************************************
Recreational marijuana a type of over-prescribing. Over-prescribing mind-altering substances has a history of making their way to people they were not intended, such as young people, with devastating results. Over-prescribing does not do well for young people in the area in terms of young crude deaths, young crude deaths tend to increase in areas where lax mind-altering substance laws are instituted.
(1). removes a doctor prescription so adults over 21 years old can use any time for any reason and
(2). For example, in the Michigan ballot which went through in 2018, which proposed legalizing 10 ounces of marijuana, which equates to 567 marijuana joints, an 18 month daily supply of 0.5 gram size marijuana, a year and a half supply of marijuana allowed in homes in Michigan where people are over 21 years of age – heavy over-prescribing! Mind-altering substances should have no more than a 2-4 week supply, see Cap It above. (a). 2.5 ounces (141 joints can be sitting in the house out in the open) a 4.5 month supply of marijuana can be sitting out in the open in any home a child could enter --- which is NOT safe for young people who live in the area (b). the rest of the 10 ounces, 426 joints - {calculation 567 joints -141 joints = 426 joints} the 426 joints have to be secured in locked container in a residence.
--------------------------
For example, Colorado, a recreation marijuana state, had a 27% increase in young crude deaths for ages 25-34 years old comparing the 5 year span 2012-2016 to the five years prior 2007-2011, 901 more crude deaths in the 5 year span following recreational marijuana implementation versus the prior 5 years prior, 2012-2016 vs 2007-2011 = 4,232 - 3,331 = 901 more crude deaths in the 5 year span 2012-2016. Colorado had 4,232 age 25-34 year old crude deaths in the 5 year period, 2012-2016. After recreational marijuana was implemented, Colorado age 25-34 year old crude death rate increased significantly 12.4 points comparing 2012-2016 vs 2007-2011 death rates = 105.6 - 93.2 = 12.4 death rate point increase.

How do we know marijuana is making its way to the hands of teens, a sad note by NIDA, December 2017, states "daily marijuana use exceeds daily cigarette use among 8th (0.8 vs. 0.6 percent), 10th (2.9 vs. 2.2 percent) and 12th (5.9 vs. 4.2 percent) graders.

Marijuana THC Potency Increased (THC is the addictive part that gets a person high) The potency of an average marijuana cigarette has steadily increased from 3 percent THC in the early 1990's to 12.5 percent THC in 2013.

It is our responsibility as parents, citizens and leaders to protect young people with sober-minded safe laws that prevent over-prescribing, prevent marketing harmful substances to young people, for example, five years ago, a medical doctor prescription was required for using marijuana mind altering substance. As states went recreational, marijuana use didn't just increase in communities, it increased at state levels. One states' substance use can affect a neighboring state. For example, when distributors were flooding West Virginia with opiates, it seeped to surrounding states, see state map for substance death rates by state.

The founder of Bryan's Hope, Jeannie Richards, indicated reporting was needed to understand the magnitude of the substance problem, to prevent the next generation of children from stepping into the horrible substance situation.
In this day teens and adults are confronted with a variety of critically addictive and poisonous substances while at the same time receive mixed messages from television, cable, internet, radio, songs and books about people using mind-altering sAubstances without noting any real harm, which is wrong and deceiving!

Common Ground: (248) 456-8144 to ask questions, go to treatment or detox (coming off a mind-altering substance is hard, it can temporarily make a person feel suicidal that is why protected recovery detox is important to have support during withdraw and to build recovery support). Some people have a hard time sleeping during early recovery, this is another reason for addiction treatment, so a person doesn't have to be responsible for work during withdraw. Some mind-altering substances require tapering off, medical support for safe detoxification withdraw to reduce risk of harm (e.g., seizures, hallucinations, etc.) these are alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, oxycontin, methadone or suboxone).

Responsibility:
Young people are a blessing and are made to live. Losing young people to substances in the land in which we live is devastating, we must never forget those we lost and keep moving forward with a kind sober-minded heart to prevent the next generation from stumbling into this situation.

Greatest Commandment: Matthew 22:35-40
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
