Market for Synthetic Drugs Expands
In the U.S. it is estimated a consumption potential of 37.7 tonnes of amphetamines.Mexico . Trafficking of synthetic or designer drugs has become a boom which implies a market of 53 million consumers in the world, only behind marijuana, says a report of the Ministry of Security Federal Public.
In Mexico, the potential consumption of amphetamine-type stimulants is 4.29 tons, with average value of 281.9 million dollars in the wholesale market.
This type of drug is placed behind marijuana and cocaine, with consumption 514.9 and 27.65 tonnes respectively.
The wholesale market value of both drugs is 41.19 and 345.73 million dollars respectively, according to the report of SSP (police). Accounting for profits for traffickers, amphetamine and its derivatives are placed just behind cocaine, which the Mexican authorities alerted the international community at the last meeting of the International Conference for Drug Control (IDEC, for its acronym in English) held in Cancun. At that conference, attended by 103 countries on five continents and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA, for its acronym in English), the Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna, as chairman of the agency, warned that "the rise of amphetamines and their derivatives poses new challenges for the international community. " With the growth in the development of drugs derived from that substance, Mexico proposed a progressive agreement to approve legislation concerning the control of precursor chemicals.
The federal SSP analysis indicates that "a general concern is the advancement of synthetic drugs, mainly taking into account the facilities for production and distribution."
In the U.S., consumption is estimated at 37.7 tons of amphetamine, which represents 2,479,000 dollars in the wholesale market and 4,815,000 dollars at retail. To curb the threat posed by the advance of amphetamines and derivatives, 103 IDEC member states agreed to standardize their laws concerning the control of precursor chemicals that are used in the manufacture of such drugs.
Based on a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, it estimated that in 2009 the market for amphetamines produced more than 160 tons, "with a number of consumers in their highest close to 53 million people around the world. "
The SSP indicated that increased drug addicts shows that the drug trade is dynamic and flexible markets. According to estimates by the World Drug Report 2010, production of marijuana has reached levels close to 600 thousand tons of a potential market of 190 million consumers.
As for the cocaine, estimated a potential production of 800 tons with a market value of about 80 billion dollars and 19 million consumers internationally. Global opium production is at 8000 tonnes and the estimated value of this drug in the world market reaches 65 billion dollars with about 22 million consumers. However, the number of users of amphetamine derivatives is only behind marijuana, with a boom that is explained by the relative ease of producing synthetic or designer drugs.
"The production and consumption of amphetamine type stimulants is not centralized, which means it happens around the world and tends to move as they apply controls on precursor chemicals."
