Indicate whether this statement is true or false.

Answer: False

Rationale: Prescription drugs are now second only to marijuana as the most commonly abused drug among illicit users.

This number is actually higher than cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens and inhalants (paints, glues, gasoline) combined.
