Alaska drug problems

Drug Situation: Due to its close proximity to the Pacific Rim and shared border with Canada, Alaska is both a transshipment point for controlled substances to the continental United States and a consumer state. Historically, drug trends documented in the other states are eventually documented to Alaska. This would include the growing threat of methamphetamine, Ecstasy, GHB and other "Predatory Drugs." Alaska has the highest incident per capita of alcoholism, rape, and suicide in the United States, partially attributable to controlled substance abuse.

Cocaine: There are many various types of cocaine trafficking organizations in Alaska, although some of the largest ones are predominantly Mexican groups and Dominican groups. Eastern Europeans to, are involved. Most cocaine appears to come into Alaska from the West Coast of the U.S. One cocaine smuggling organization in Alaska offered to sell one kilogram of cocaine for as high as $39,000. Cocaine and other controlled substances are distributed throughout the State mainly from Anchorage and Fairbanks, all the way to remote fishing villages and northern rural areas.

Heroin: Evidence of heroin has declined due to much of the user population now resorting to illegally acquiring and using OxyContin. Opium continues to be transshipped through Alaska from the Far East/Pacific Rim countries.

Methamphetamine: Small toxic labs are continuously   being found throughout the state. The pseudo ephedrine reduction method is the common manufacturing method used. Availability seems to be on the rise, both from local labs and from methamphetamine mailed or shipped into the state by various methods, mostly from the Western U.S.

Predatory Drugs: There is recent evidence of large quantities of GBL being transshipped through Alaska from Thailand to various "lower 48" states. MDMA (methylene-dioxy-methamphetamine), also known as Ecstasy, is a growing epidemic throughout the state. Prior to 1999, there were no reports or direct evidence of large quantities of MDMA in any form. .More recently, MDMA seizures have increased dramatically. Raves continue to operate in Alaska, with the accompanying use of Predatory Drugs found at these events.

Marijuana: Marijuana is the most abused and widespread illegal drug in Alaska. Local law enforcement can only estimate the extent of marijuana abuse because less than 5% of the marijuana in Alaska is grown outdoors. This makes detection much more difficult.

Other Drugs: The diversion of various controlled substances regulated by prescription is growing. Alaska is one of the top five purchasing states for five of the top twelve diverted drugs, to include Fentanyl, D-Amphetamine, Oxycodone, Methadone and Meperidine. Benzodiazepine is also highly abused. Internet purchases of controlled substances, from both domestic and international sites, are on the rise.

In 2003, approximately 7,000 produced cannabis plants were eradicated in
Alaska under the DEA's Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression Program.
