Men are much more likely than women to have used illicit substances. The rate of illicit drug use among men is about five times higher than the rate among women. This suggests that there are significant gender differences in drug use in Mexico. Illicit drug use is more common among younger people. The rates of illicit drug use are highest among people aged 18 to 29. This is likely due to a number of factors, including increased exposure to drugs, greater risk-taking behaviour, and fewer social responsibilities. People aged 60 to 65 are the least likely to have used illicit substances. This is not surprising, as older adults are generally less likely to engage in risky behaviours.
