'Dabbling' in Hard Drugs in Middle Age Linked to Increased Risk of Death

ScienceDaily (Jan. 27, 2012) — Young adults often experiment with hard drugs, such as cocaine, amphetamines and opiates, and all but about 10 percent stop as they assume adult roles and responsibilities. Those still using hard drugs into their 50s are five times more likely to die earlier than those who do not, according to a new study by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers published online Jan. 27, 2012, in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

Doesn't reaching middle age bring with it an increased risk of death anyway?

The 'R' may be cumulative for those who don't stop, they won't stop until crumple comes along to stop them?

[Rum]

Go ahead. Try just a pinch...

[Feck]

No shit really 30 years of 'hard' drugs can increase your risk of mortality ,That goes into the research that nobody should have bothered doing pile !

[Svartalf]

Of course dabbling in drugs in the middle ages was a factor of mortality... look at all the dead from those who tried LSD trips from improperly prepared ergot rye.

For that matter, every day you live increases your chances of dying the next.

Well at least they are calling them 'hard' instead of 'illegal' - though they still fail to mention legal drugs as Oxycontin etc.

[FBM]

Well, then, don't dabble. Dive in!

I used to smoke Methamphetimine - never did me any harm.

But I stopped before reaching middle age.....but not ruled it out of my future.......

FWIW it's the best worst drug I have ever tried - being truly "evil" is what makes it so good.

I see they failed to mention the most common "hard" drugs: alcohol & nicotine.

BTW, caffiene is an amphetamine
