Drug statistics and facts

Many years ago, South Carolina was considered a state with only drug customers. It has recently changed and became a source state. It is a transition for illegal transportation of drugs between Florida and New York, and also other north east states with cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin.

Marijuana is still the most abused drug in South Carolina. It is in part due to the large number of college students whom abuse the drug. Heroin abuse has increased over the last years. Club drugs are mainly used by people of 16 to 25 years of age mainly in the areas of Greenville and Columbia, it is found mainly at private parties, fitness facilities, clubs, school/college campuses, and associated hang-outs. OxyContin®, hydrocodone and pseudo ephedrine are the main abused prescription drugs.

There were 27,723 arrests for possession of illicit drugs, and over 6300 arrests for selling drugs in 2006. There are over 103,000 people in South Carolina who abuse drugs. There were 29,150 admissions into drug or alcohol treatment centers in South Carolina in 2006.

Although there is a decrease in the quantity of cocaine seized in the state of South Carolina, cocaine and crack cocaine remain one of the biggest drug problems in South Carolina. Much effort by state officials is concentrated on stopping the cocaine threat.

People often mix cocaine with other drugs to counter act against the drug’s effect. This can easily get the person on the road to being addicted to more than one drug, and increases the risk of serious physical and psychological damage, and they run a higher risk of overdosing while taking all of these different drugs.

Methamphetamine is a continuous problem in South Carolina. Mexico plays a major role in importing meth in the state of South Carolina since state officials have started regulating the sale of chemicals used in the production of methamphetamine. Despite the state’s efforts, meth is still a growing problem.

Even though people get a self-confidence boost when taking methamphetamine, they are in no state to drive. The feeling they get when high on meth blurs their judgment when it comes to their abilities and limitations. Their eye-hand coordination is very poor and they run the risk of doing something dangerous behind the wheel just for the thrill.
