Maine

Both powder and crack cocaine pose a serious threat to the state of Maine. These drugs are widely available in larger cities and towns and there has also been an increase in their availability in the more rural areas of the state. The current purity ranges of these drugs are from 30-80%.

Heroin also poses a serious threat to the state. The typical age of heroin abusers in the state of Maine is between 18 and 30. Heroin is also more available in larger cities but has also been increasingly available in rural areas. Purity levels of this drug ranges between 50% and 90%.

Marijuana is still the most widely abused drug in the state of Maine and the most available drug as well. Most of the marijuana in the state is brought in from Mexico but there has been a rise in locally produced marijuana as well as high grade marijuana smuggled in from Canada. According to the Maine Office of Substance Abuse, an estimated 95,000 of Maine’s approximately 1.2 million adult residents routinely abuse marijuana.

While methamphetamine is available in the state of Maine, it is currently considered low threat but the availability and the abuse of “club drugs” such as MDMA, Ketamine (“Special K”) and LSD pose an increasing threat to the state.

Currently the threat posed by pharmaceuticals such as OxyContin and Dilaudid, rivals the threat posed by heroin. Methadone abuse has also increased significantly. There are other pharmaceuticals that are widely abused in the state including Vicoden, Ritalin, Percocet and Xanax. OxyContin seems to be a gateway for heroin.

Drug Treatment

According to the Office of the National Drug Control Policy, during 2004 there were 12,899 admissions to substance abuse treatment centers in Maine. Methadone treatment is at an all time high in the state. This increase has occurred in the last six years as until spring 2001, there were only two methadone clinics in the state.

Drug Related Crime

During the year 2002, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) made 520 arrests in the state of Maine.

There were 1,230 arrests for drug sale/manufacturing in Maine during 2003 and 2,781 arrests for the possession of marijuana.
