Tennessee Drug Information

The biggest threat to Tennessee citizens is the illicit sale and use of controlled prescription drugs (meaning those that are likely to be abused). Painkillers such as hydrocodone and oxycodone are popular with drug abusers. A drug dealer will hire groups of people to pile into a van and drive from one doctor’s office to another, picking up bottles of pills. The pills are then marketed to anyone who needs these drugs to keep withdrawal sickness at bay. If the van is stopped by police, there will normally be 200 to 300 pills seized.

In some parts of the country, many people migrate to heroin from painkillers, but in Tennessee, this is not very common. But this could change, as it has in so many other states.

While cocaine supplies and use have dropped off in many areas, there is still a thriving cocaine market in Tennessee. Cocaine is most commonly consumed in crack form. After prescription drugs, crack cocaine is most likely to be associated with criminal activity.

Marijuana abuse and trafficking is a serious problem in Tennessee, especially in rural areas of the state. In the national forests, concealed marijuana grows result in enough product to supply the markets not only in Tennessee but also in Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and other states.

The availability and demand for methamphetamine stays high in Tennessee. Much of the methamphetamine consumed in the state is transported from Mexico and states along the Southwest Border. But there is also a thriving domestic manufacturing industry for methamphetamine. Labs are usually small and easy to conceal and only produce a few ounces at a time. To obtain the precursor chemicals, meth “cooks” use a similar system to the one used to obtain pills from doctors. A car full of methamphetamine addicts drives from one drugstore to the next, buying the maximum number of cold relief products legally available. Legislative efforts have been made to convert these cold medication to prescription-only status, but the bills have not yet made it through the Tennessee legislature.

According to data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately 386,000 of Tennessee citizens over the age of 12 were current drug users, based on a recent survey. Additional survey results indicate that 300,000 Tennesseans reported abuse of or dependence on alcohol and 134,000 were dependent on illicit drugs. More than half of those being admitted to addiction treatment were there for drugs rather than alcohol. And in most cases, prescription drugs were the cause of sending these people to rehab.

Of those needing help for alcoholism in Tennessee, less than 4% found the help they needed, far below the national average. Slightly more than 10% of those addicted to drugs were admitted to rehabs.
