Kentucky Drug Abuse Facts and Statistics

The primary drug threats in the state of Kentucky are shared between marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and some pharmaceutical drugs.

Cocaine is a major drug in the central and southern part of Kentucky. Mexican drug traffickers are mostly in charge of the cocaine that passes through the Kentucky borders and utilise various locations for means of distribution and sale, such as restaurants, detail and auto repait shops. Those organizations also take part in street-level cocaine selling. The purity of the cocaine in Kentucky is generally fairly high.

Nowadays, cocaine is recognized by the law as being a high risk where abuse is concerned. But, a doctor can administer a certain dosage if medically required. For instance, if a patient is to receive throat surgery, then a doctor could chose cocaine for use as a local anesthetic. Although rarely done, it would be legal, but dangerous because of the addictive nature of cocaine.

Methamphetamine is available in Kentucky, especially in the center and the South-East of the state, where it continues to be widely available from Mexican drug trafficking organizations. The methamphetamine laboratories and local production of meth has decreased over the last few years, but that hasn’t stop the meth epidemic, where the Importation of meth in Kentucky is now more prominent from sources in Atlanta, Georgia and Ashville, North Carolina, where it is commonly obtained in pound amounts from the Mexican traffickers and smuggled back into Kentucky via private vehicles. Local street level distribution is primarily due to individual operators manufacturing smaller amounts for personal use.

People that use methods other than injection (which produces a quick rush) can feel the pleasurable sensation for a longer period of time, some even extend up to half a day. But if an individual takes too big a dose, it can increase the body temperature and create convulsions, which can be lethal. Read more about meth and its effects here.

Kansas is one of the top producing marijuana states in the country, the majority of which is produced domestically in southeastern Kentucky. The amount of marijuana produced far outweighs what the state drug users can consume, hence bulk of the production is exported to Midwest regions, such as Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan as well as on the East Coast of the United States.

In 2007 alone, nearly 65,000 marijuana plants were removed from public zones such as the National Forest. These public areas are also suffering from the effects of marijuana cultivation, whereby producers destroy acres of trees and plants, as well as other property damage, to make space for their cultivation. These zones are seen as ideal for dosmestic marijuana production due to the remote locations, which cloud them from local authorities, as well as the climate and soil conditions, which are found to be ideal for marijuana cultivation.
