Drug Abuse in Alabama

 

The drug threat in Alabama is the widespread availability and abuse of illegal drugs arriving from outside the state, along with its homegrown marijuana and the increasing danger of local manufacture of methamphetamine and designer drugs. Conventional drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana comprise the bulk of drugs arriving in and shipped through Alabama. Although most drug seizures and arrests are attributed to marijuana, cocaine hydrochloride and crack cocaine continue to be a huge drug threat in Alabama. The addictive nature of cocaine destroys otherwise productive lives and the violence associated with cocaine distribution cripples many of Alabama's lower income neighborhoods.

Heroin:

 
Heroin has not been a significant factor in Alabama in past years, however the heroin found in Alabama, is not only becoming available in a purer form, it also is becoming more affordable.

Methamphetamine:

 
Methamphetamine has become the biggest drug threat in Alabama. Although marijuana continues to be the number one drug of choice, methamphetamine has surpassed cocaine in abuse across the state. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of clandestine labs discovered in Jackson, Marshall, Etowah, Madison, Houston, Baldwin, DeKalb, and Walker counties. Methamphetamine labs are found principally in isolated, rural communities. Street level methamphetamine distribution and use is divided into both the Hispanic and Caucasian cultures. EPIC statistics reported that 404 meth labs were seized in Alabama in 2004, compared to 280 in 2003, and 207 in 2002 - indicating that illicit production is on the rise.

Club Drugs:

 
"Club Drug" abuse and distribution among young people is also on the rise in Alabama. Increases in arrests, overdoses and seizures of these designer drugs have been reported and indicate a trend toward increased availability and trafficking in Ecstasy, LSD, and Ketamine. MDMA, LSD, GHB, and Ketamine are readily available throughout the state, more commonly found on college campuses and at venues. GHB and MDMA have emerged as the club drugs of choice and the end-users are young Caucasians at all economic levels but users are particularly college students and rave participants. While Ecstasy is still the number one "club" drug of choice, GHB and the analogs are growing. GHB has become a significant threat in Alabama. GHB overdoses have been reported in the Ozark/Dothan, Birmingham, Auburn, Mobile, Huntsville, and Decatur areas of Alabama. LSD, which can be found in many forms, has not seen a large increase of abuse in Alabama over the past several years.

Marijuana:

 
Marijuana has always had a h3 presence in Alabama. However, in the past few years, a transformation has been seen in the level of dealers in the area and in the size of loads commonly seized, especially in the Huntsville area. Only a few years ago, a seizure of 10 pounds of marijuana was fairly rare, and was considered a rather significant seizure. Today, it is not uncommon for Huntsville to seize loads of 50 to 100 pounds.

Drug Addiction Treatment vs. Prison Overcrowding in Alabama

 

People convicted by non-violent offenses, primarily drug possession, are contributing to the rapid growth of Alabama's inmate population. Surprisingly, African Americans, who make up approximately 25 percent of Alabama's population, constitute 60 percent of the state's prison inmates, even though national figures show that drug use is equal between whites and African Americans. "Our state is in a crisis because we've been locking people up for addiction and drug use, which is really a public health issue," said Rev. Glasgow." The state government and non-profit organizations are working together to improve access to drug rehabilitation and addiction treatment programs.
