This book was released on 2002 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents drug availability estimates for 2001 for cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana. There is significant uncertainty in these estimates due to the illicit and clandestine nature of the various drugs and the limited data currently collected. The estimate of 260 to 270 pure metric tons of cocaine was determined through the integration of many routinely reported sources such as the potential cocaine production estimates reported annually by the Central Intelligence Agency, the Office of National Drug Control Policy2s annual consumption estimate, and worldwide seizure statistics. The estimate of 13 to 18 pure metric tons of heroin was based on the number of users, their frequency of use and expenditures, and the retail price of heroin. Domestic production is the primary source of methamphetamine available for domestic demand. The largest component of the 110 to 140 pure metric tons of methamphetamine is manufactured from diverted Canadian and United States pseudoephedrine and ephedrine. The 10,000 to 24,000 metric ton estimate of marijuana availability was based on a two-part methodology that separately derived the quantities of foreign and domestically produced marijuana available. The speculative estimate of domestic marijuana production was calculated by applying three hypothetical seizure rates to domestic cannabis eradication figures. Based upon the current estimates2 uncertainties, the most important action items in improved drug availability estimates should relate to domestic marijuana cultivation, a more accurate signature of heroin production, consumption habits of heroin users, and trafficking flow patterns through Mexico and Canada. It is important that policymakers and Congress fund additional data collection systems to make any real progress in developing reliable estimates that will contribute to reasoned shifts in policy and strategy.

Estimating Cocaine Production Using a Novel Dataset Based on Reported Seizures of Laboratories written by Riccardo Leoncini and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Data on the cocaine market appear to be inconsistent, as they tend to show declining prices vis-a-vis a steady or increasing demand and a declining supply. This paper proposes an explanation for this trend by providing evidence that there is an under-estimation of the supply of cocaine. Methods: We propose a conservative estimate of cocaine production in Colombia for the year 2008 using the reported seizures of laboratories made by the counteracting organisations operating within the Colombian territory. Results: Our estimate is at least twice the estimates declared in the official statistics, although we are careful to keep all of our variables to their minimum boundary values. We conclude that our methodology could prove to be a very useful tool, especially if used in parallel with the standard tools. Moreover, the characteristics of the tool (affordability, ease of use and the potential for worldwide adoption) make it a powerful instrument to counteract cocaine production.

Download or read book Understanding the Demand for Illegal Drugs written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-10-23 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite efforts to reduce drug consumption in the United States over the past 35 years, drugs are just as cheap and available as they have ever been. Cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines continue to cause great harm in the country, particularly in minority communities in the major cities. Marijuana use remains a part of adolescent development for about half of the country's young people, although there is controversy about the extent of its harm. Given the persistence of drug demand in the face of lengthy and expensive efforts to control the markets, the National Institute of Justice asked the National Research Council to undertake a study of current research on the demand for drugs in order to help better focus national efforts to reduce that demand. This study complements the 2003 book, Informing America's Policy on Illegal Drugs by giving more attention to the sources of demand and assessing the potential of demand-side interventions to make a substantial difference to the nation's drug problems. Understanding the Demand for Illegal Drugs therefore focuses tightly on demand models in the field of economics and evaluates the data needs for advancing this relatively undeveloped area of investigation.

Download or read book Pharmacology and Abuse of Cocaine, Amphetamines, Ecstasy and Related Designer Drugs written by Enno Freye and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-21 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally - a book that covers all aspects of the illicit use of cocaine, amphetamines, ecstasy and/or designer drugs such as GHB, written by two experts in their field. The use of these drugs remains a continuous threat in health and medical care delivery, and this book will be an essential asset to the physician who may have to face the evaluation of patients whose use of these drugs compromises an effective treatment plan for other health issues. The book has been conceived to fill the void in existing physician reference materials, and provides a comprehensive review of the theoretical knowledge and scope of pharmacotherapy in individuals who are hooked on a psychoactive substance. While detailed scientific information is obtainable in other major articles, the book's straightforward format and style, along with its illustrations, will make for easy reading as emphasis is put on information specifically related to drugs that occur most abused in today’s society. The information provided is based on clinical practice rather than pure experimental data, which will give the physician more effective tools useful in their daily practice. Many mechanisms of action of abuse are described in detail and references are provided to direct the reader to further sources for additional information. As a special feature, the book incorporates uncluttered tables and charts, which result in immediate clarification of the mode of action on the central nervous system and the reason for misuse, thus avoiding usual long and fatiguing text in common reference books. The book aims to give the reader a clear and concise plan on what to do when being faced with an overdose situation. A well-organized Table of Contents rapidly leads the reader from general pharmacological issues to the specific overdose syndrome and its management. Additionally, significant emphasis is placed on the practical do's and don’ts for physicians, with special reference to the predictive signs of aberrant drug-related behavior and the identification of the drug diverter by using urine drug screening.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years ago, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett proposed emerging adulthood as a new life stage at ages 18-29, one distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that eventually follows. Rather than marrying and becoming parents in their early 20s, most people in developed countries now postpone these transitions until at least their late 20s, spending these years in self-focused explorations as they try out different possibilities in their education, careers, and relationships. Since Arnett proposed his theory of emerging adulthood in 2000, it has turned into a full-fledged academic field, and the ideas have been applied in practical areas as well, such as mental health and education. The Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood brings together for the first time the wealth of theory and research that has developed in this new and burgeoning field. It includes chapters by many prominent scholars on a wide range of topics, such as brain development, relations with friends, relations with parents, expectations for marriage, sexual relationships, media use, substance use and abuse, and resilience. The chapters both summarize the existing research and point the way to new prospects for research in the years to come.
