TL;DR: The use of the WWW has produced the largest sample of successful illicit drug users ever surveyed and further application of this approach (WWW) is recommended when hidden populations are surveyed.

TL;DR: Data from the Treatment Episode Data Set indicate a coming wave of older addicts whose primary problem is not alcohol, and the authors suspect that this wave is led primarily by the continuing emergence of the baby boomer generation.

TL;DR: The Gemini Remote Access to CFHT ESPaDONS Spectrograph (GRACES) as discussed by the authors achieved first light of its experimental phase in May 2014 and collected light from the Gemini North telescope and sent it through two 270 m optical fibers to the ESPa-DOnS spectrograph at CFHT to deliver high-resolution spectroscopy across the optical region.

TL;DR: The WWW is a useful tool for reaching hidden populations but is likely to impose a bias toward male, better educated, and more computer-involved samples on the respondents reached, further documents the existence of a nonclinical population of drug users which is generally healthy, well-adjusted, and productive.

TL;DR: The findings of DRUGNET have major implications for drug policy and indicate the need for further research on the majority of drug users, who may be expected to resemble this sample more than they do clinical populations of drug abusers.
