About 6 million Russians use illegal drugs - official 15:44 | 21/ 10/ 2005 MOSCOW, October 21 (RIA Novosti) - According to Russian healthcare officials, 500,000-1.5 million Russians are drug addicts, while some 6 million use illegal drugs occasionally, a Russian senior anti-drug official said Friday. Viktor Cherkesov, the head of the Russian Federal Service for Control of Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Circulation, said, "These users are taking high risks for drug addiction." He also said the number of drug users had stopped growing and was even falling in some Russian regions. "The situation is stable but complicated, and we cannot be satisfied when millions regularly use drugs, become addicts, and die." Cherkesov said there was a federal target program to help reduce the number of drug users by one million by 2010. Nikolai Ovchinnikov, the head of the Russian Interior Ministry's organized crime and counter-terrorism department, proposed Friday toughening the punishment for drug storage. He said the parliament had already considered a relevant bill in the first reading.

338,000 people used heroin last month.
In the US, opium was used to treat soldiers during the Civil War (1861-1865). During the late 1800s, doctors prescribed "tonics" containing opiates for many conditions. Rarely did these medicines list opiates as one of the ingredients. In fact, heroin was marketed as a cough medicine and a cure for morphine addiction. However, many physicians had concerns about possible addiction to these medicines.
Cocaine facts about how the drug is produced include isolating the cocaine alkaloids from the liquid. This is done with acid and basic mixtures. The alkaloids that are removed in this process are then treated with kerosene.
Since passage of the 2006 Patriot Act which controls public access to pseudoephedrine, limits quantities, and requires identification to purchase the medicine, the number of homemade meth labs has been reduced significantly. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) estimates that 75% of all methamphetamine available in the U.S. today is produced in “super labs” operated by Mexican drug trafficking organizations.
