Global Illicit Drug Industry Sample Clauses

Global Illicit Drug Industry. According to the 2019 World Drug Report (WDR) published by the UNODC, the global illicit drug industry has continuously risen in the past years, as shown by the growth of global illicit drug users in the past years (Booklet 2: Global, 2019). Latest data of the global overview of Supply and Demand of illicit drugs put an increase of illicit drug use by 30 percent in 2017, as compared to 2009 (Booklet 2: Global, 2019). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined illicit drug use as any use of drugs for any purpose besides for medical purpose and/or any other purpose allowed by international law (Xxxxxxxxxx, Hall, Xxxxxx- Xxxxx, & Xxxxxxx, 2004). As such, global illicit drug use doesn’t only include the use of illegal substances such as cannabis, hash, heroin, and cocaine (Commonly Used Drugs, 2020), but also includes the illegal use and/or abuse of both over the counter (OTC) and/or prescribed drugs such as codeine and morphine to treat pain, pseudoephedrine to treat colds, dimenhydrinate to treat motion sickness, benzodiazepines to treat anxiety and sleep disorders, and adderall prescribed to patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Xxxxxxxxx, 2020; Xxxxxxxx, 2020). The global illicit drug industry is an amalgamation of hundreds types of drugs, including both licit and illicit drugs, although OTC and prescribed drugs only account for a fraction of the whole global illicit drug industry. This can be seen in the global number of illicit drug users, as the top five largest illicit drug industries are cannabis which accounts for the majority of the global illicit drug market share, opioids which are responsible for around two third of global drug-related mortalities, amphetamine and prescribed stimulants, as well as the global ecstasy and cocaine industry (Booklet 2: Global, 2019).
