Abstract
In this paper, we examine the relationship between illicit drug use and workplace accidents among young adults in the United States in two complementary ways. The first, examines whether individuals who use drugs are more likely than their non-using counterparts to experience an accident on the job. The second focuses on the individual's consumption choices. The results are mixed. For young adult males, there is some evidence that drug use is significantly and positively related to workplace accidents, but for young adult females, the evidence suggests that there is no systematic relationship between drug use and workplace accidents.
