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.

Book Synopsis What America's Users Spend on Illegal Drugs by : Executive Office Executive Office of the President
Download or read book What America's Users Spend on Illegal Drugs written by Executive Office Executive Office of the President and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of National Drug Control Policy sponsored research to update previously published estimates of illegal drug availability on the streets of the United States based on both demand and supply data indicators. The demand-based methodology, published as What America's Users Spend on Illegal Drugs (WAUSID), estimates the magnitude of drugs in the United States by calculating consumption based on surveys of drug use prevalence and frequency. The supply-based methodology, published as Drug Availability Estimates in the United States (DAEUS), estimates the magnitude of drugs in the United States based on supply indicators such as production estimates and seizures. This foreword integrates results of these updates.Trends in the demand and supply-based availability should correlate to trends in the drug consequences (e.g., drug poisonings, drug treatment) in the United States. Figure FW.1 shows the number of reported primary drug treatment admissions for cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and stimulants (which includes methamphetamine) from 1998 through 2006. Cocaine admissions reached a low in 2001, then rose slightly to 263,000 in 2006. Heroin admissions peaked in 2002, then fell slightly in 2006. Marijuana admissions rose steadily from 1998 to 2002, then plateaued through 2006. Treatment admissions for stimulants rose from 1998, until peaking in 2005, then dropped slightly in 2006. Where differences occur between trends in the availability estimates and consequences, potential explanations will be discussed. Based on this evidence, expectations are that methamphetamine availability and use increased over most of 2001 through 2006. For the other drugs, availability and use were relatively constant, although cocaine use may have increased and heroin use may have decreased. Expected changes are not large.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Download or read book Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 4) written by Vikram Patel and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental, neurological, and substance use disorders are common, highly disabling, and associated with significant premature mortality. The impact of these disorders on the social and economic well-being of individuals, families, and societies is large, growing, and underestimated. Despite this burden, these disorders have been systematically neglected, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, with pitifully small contributions to scaling up cost-effective prevention and treatment strategies. Systematically compiling the substantial existing knowledge to address this inequity is the central goal of this volume. This evidence-base can help policy makers in resource-constrained settings as they prioritize programs and interventions to address these disorders.

Download or read book Marijuana Availability in the United States and Its Associated Territories written by Federal Research Division Library of Congress and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marijuana is considered by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) to be "a leading drug threat to the country." However, U.S. law enforcement authorities generally regard marijuana as a lower threat than cocaine and diverted pharmaceuticals because it is less often associated with violent crime and property crime. Marijuana is the most readily available and widely used and abused illicit drug in the nation. Its prevalence has contributed to both an acceptance of marijuana use among some adults and adolescents and a perception that the drug is not harmful. There is no accepted estimate for marijuana demand in the United States, but estimates of the number of users suggest that the demand for marijuana vastly exceeds demand for any other drug, especially among younger users. Some national substance abuse indicators suggest that marijuana use may rise despite relatively stable levels of use since the late 1990s. The number of past-year users increased significantly in 2001, and national-level prevalence studies show some decreases in the perception of risk regarding marijuana use. Marijuana availability has changed little since 2002, according to reporting from law enforcement and public health agencies, as well as federal investigation, arrest, and seizure data. However, availability depends on the state and the type of marijuana. Seizure statistics indicate very limited availability of imported marijuana in a remote state like Alaska but significantly increasing quantities in Texas. It is also important to distinguish between the low-quality, commercial-grade marijuana imported from Mexico and the high-grade product imported from Canada. The availability of high-grade marijuana, most of which comes from Canada, is increasing in every region of the United States.

Book Synopsis Understanding the Demand for Illegal Drugs by : National Research Council
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.

This book was released on 2019-06-16 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opioid crisis in the United States has come about because of excessive use of these drugs for both legal and illicit purposes and unprecedented levels of consequent opioid use disorder (OUD). More than 2 million people in the United States are estimated to have OUD, which is caused by prolonged use of prescription opioids, heroin, or other illicit opioids. OUD is a life-threatening condition associated with a 20-fold greater risk of early death due to overdose, infectious diseases, trauma, and suicide. Mortality related to OUD continues to escalate as this public health crisis gathers momentum across the country, with opioid overdoses killing more than 47,000 people in 2017 in the United States. Efforts to date have made no real headway in stemming this crisis, in large part because tools that already existâ€"like evidence-based medicationsâ€"are not being deployed to maximum impact. To support the dissemination of accurate patient-focused information about treatments for addiction, and to help provide scientific solutions to the current opioid crisis, this report studies the evidence base on medication assisted treatment (MAT) for OUD. It examines available evidence on the range of parameters and circumstances in which MAT can be effectively delivered and identifies additional research needed.
