Drug facts and statistics Most of the club drugs in Oklahoma come from the west coast of the U.S., and some MDMA is imported from Canada. Most marijuana has been imported from Mexico and there are few in-state growers of cannabis. Oxycodone is the primary prescription drug abused in Oklahoma. It is mainly obtained via internet, forged prescription, and doctor to doctor prescription shopping. Methadone has become more available, and started to become a problem. Methamphetamine labs have decreased over the past years due to different laws that were voted to increase the penalties regarding manufacturing meth. Penalties were introduced for possessing the ingredients to make methamphetamine, and 20 year sentences to prison can be handed out for producing methamphetamine. In 2007, there were over 10,000 arrests for marijuana possession in Oklahoma. There are 82,000 persons that abuse illicit drugs, and 5.5% of high school students have tried methamphetamine. In 2007, 22,000 marijuana plants were seized and destroyed from the DEA. There were over 16,000 admissions into drug and/or alcohol rehabs in Oklahoma in that same year. Cocaine remains available across the state of Oklahoma. The majority of the cocaine is distributed by Mexican and African-American gangs. Crack cocaine is often cooked up locally and sold on the streets. Texas cities are the main providers for cocaine in the state of Oklahoma. As addicts become more tolerant to cocaine, they start taking larger and larger amounts of cocaine. This can easily lead to strong dependencies to cocaine. That sort of thing is seen when the individual becomes solely interested in cocaine, and their life starts revolving around the drug. Methamphetamine remains the biggest drug problem in all of Oklahoma. Crystal methamphetamine is particularly a big problem nowadays, and is now the drug of choice. The number of local meth laboratories has dropped dramatically over the last 4 years, which is a good sign. When an addict goes through methamphetamine withdrawal, especially if not treated professionally, they will experience intense sensations of craving meth, and needing to have some more. This symptom, even when one has gotten through the withdrawal process, occurs occasionally afterwards.
