Drug Situation: Methamphetamine remains popular
as an illicit drug of abuse in Wyoming. The demand for methamphetamine in
Wyoming has increased in the past year, while prices have remained stable. For
fiscal year 2002 methamphetamine constituted more than 82 percent of all DEA
drug arrests in Wyoming. Club drug use has also escalated throughout the state.
More traditional drugs, such as cocaine and marijuana, are available to users,
but continue to be less popular than methamphetamine. Heroin is not popular in
Wyoming. |
