Facts

The survey indicated only seven percent purchase alcohol themselves illegally from retailers. In 2000, as part of DAWN's year-end emergency data report, heroin related emergency room visits increased 15% from the last year. The number of opium smokers in China increased from 3 million in the 1830s to 13.5 in 1906. The synthetic drug trade is multi - dimensional in terms of precursor chemical availability, manufacturing equipment (both sophisticated and improvised), expertise and movement of the finished product. Since clandestine drug laboratories can be located in any part of the world, the trafficking of synthetic drugs can constitute either a domestic or international problem. No single organized crime group or region dominates the synthetic drug trade , as evidenced by the increase in seizures of both laboratories and drugs in every part of the world. |
