Alaska Drug Facts and Statistics

Despite it's remote location in comparion with the rest of the United States, Alaska has one of the highest illegal drug use rates - a fact indicated by a 2003 survery conducted by National Surveys on Drug Use and Health. Due to the difficulty of bringing in certain drugs, such as cocaine, Alaska has become a true breeding ground for drug traffickers and dope peddlers seeking to capitalise by selling their drugs at much higher profit rates.

Most of the drug cartel is controlled by Mexican drug organizations, but they are other drug trafficking organizations from the lowers states who are also responsible for providing other drugs such as methamphetamines, "club drugs" (Ecstasy, LSD, etc.) and heroin. Its proximity to Canada has made it a hub for drug transits as well as rendered some other drugs to be readily available, such as marijuana, which has large distributions from British Columbia, a province notorious for its "BC Bud", which is clearly a contributing factor to marijuana being the most abused drug in the state of Alaska.

For years, Alaska has boasts some of the highest rates of drug use per capita and where large drug seizures have become frequent. This illustrates why, amongst high rates of illicit drug use, Alaska is also home to higher levels of alcoholism, crime, suicide, violence when compared to the rest of the United States.

Common to the other states, Alaska's methamphetamine meth problem is becoming increasingly difficult, and has replaced heroin as the drug of abuse. This is largely attributed to the fact that meth is easily available and cheap in the state, and because it is easily smuggled into the state through the courrier or parcel services.

Methamphetamine addiction is a rapidly growing problem in the state of Alaska. Officials are still discovering small meth labs all over the state. There is also a meth importation issue which affects Alaskans. Methamphetamine is shipped from the western part of the United States into Alaska.

Meth is a very dangerous, often lethal drug to be addicted to. It poses a big threat because of the permanent physical and psychological harm it brings to the addicts. Hallucinations, paranoia, violent behavior are just a few of the symptoms that come from long-term abuse of methamphetamine.

Crack cocaine remains the most trafficked drug in the state. There are various groups which smuggle cocaine in the state of Alaska. The cocaine that is gotten through the state borders are sometimes sold for a very high price on the streets. The distribution throughout the state usually starts from the major cities such as Anchorage and Fairbanks, and from those points, it spreads out to rural areas and even isolated fishing villages.
