Oxycontin abuse is much higher than those figures estimate and so is adderall amongst college aged kids. Almost anyone can buy oxycontin at $1 per mg right now, its as common as marijuana in major cities. Xanax while is used quite a bit in conjunction with booze there isnt much recreational value to benzos on their own so its just not that popular.
What do all three of these drugs have in common? Name recognition, they all three have been hyped by the media. I could find your average stimulant abusing college student and offer him/her an adderall, a dexedrine or a desoxyn and he/she would choose the adderall. (i've seen this proven in real life trust me)
