  • An observer of a drug overdose should attempt to maintain a state of calm, and try to get a response from the person by lightly pinching the back of their arm or by calling their name; additionally, if breathing or a pulse rate is not detectable, emergency resuscitation should begin immediately.
  • A report regarding substance abuse in the U.S. in 2009 cited a sharp decline in methamphetamine use, but a significant increase in marijuana consumption.
