Marijuana use in Kansas
Marijuana is the most widely accessible and frequently consumed illicit drug in Kansas. Marijuana abuse is related with more drug-linked admissions to publicly funded treatment facilities than any other illicit drug. The majority of the marijuana available in the state is cultivated in Mexico, although some cannabis is cultivated locally. Mexican criminal organizations transport cannabis into and through Kansas in private and commercial vehicles. An important portion of the Mexico-produced marijuana confiscated in Kansas is destined for other states. Mexican criminal groups and, to a lesser degree, Caucasian local independent dealers are the major wholesale marijuana distributors in Kansas. Mexican criminal organizations, local independent dealers, street gangs, and OMGs also distribute cannabis at the retail level.
Marijuana is the most commonly abused illegal drug in the state. Cannabis abuse is associated with more admissions to publicly funded treatment facilities in Kansas than any other illicit substance, and the number of marijuana-related treatment admissions has increased. According to TEDS, marijuana-related treatment admissions rose from 2,569 in 1997 to 3,477 in 2001. The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services states that there were 3,331 marijuana-related treatment admissions in SFY2001. (Differences between federal and state reporting on admissions to substance abuse treatment programs occur because of disparities in data collection and reporting methodologies.)
