Marijuana use in Delaware
Cannabis is the most readily available, widely abused, and least expensive illegal drug in Delaware. Nonetheless, the drug poses a lower menace than heroin or cocaine in part because its distribution and abuse are not commonly associated with violent crime. Reported percentages of marijuana consumption among high school students in Delaware are high and increasing. Jamaican criminal organizations are the dominant transporters and wholesale and retail distributors of Mexico-produced marijuana and marijuana cultivated by Mexican criminal groups based in Arizona, California, and Texas. They frequently transport marijuana to the state using package delivery services and couriers. Local independent Caucasian and African American dealers and Hispanic street gangs distribute wholesale and retail amounts of cannabis in Delaware. Locally produced marijuana is increasingly available but remains less prevalent.
Marijuana is the most commonly abused drug in Delaware, and its abuse is increasing. According to state treatment data, the number of marijuana-related treatment admissions to publicly funded facilities increased over 211 percent from 334 in 1995 to 1,039 in 2000. Sixty-three percent of them were between 15 to 25 years old.
Immediate effects of consumption
The nature and intensity of the instantaneous effects of cannabis used vary according to the dose, the species or hybridization of the source plant, the method of consumption, the user's mental and physical characteristics (such as possible tolerance), and the environment of consumption. This is occasionally referred to as set and setting. Smoking the same marijuana either in a different frame of mind (set) or in a different location (setting) can modify the effects or perception of the effects by the individual. What the person does under the influence can also affect the effects of the drug. For instance, if the user does nothing he will feel relaxed and sleepy, whereas if he engages in intense physical or mental activity, he will feel energized. Effects of cannabis use might be loosely classified as cognitive and physical. Anecdotal evidence suggests that substance varieties of Cannabis sativa subsp. sativa tend to produce more of the cognitive or perceptual effects, while C. sativa subsp. indica tends to create more of the physical effects.
