Marijuana use in Kentucky
Marijuana is the most readily available and frequently abused illicit drug in Kentucky; it is still the foremost cash crop throughout the state. Growers are consistently using crime to protect themselves and their crop in the state. About 50 percent of all drug treatment admissions in Kentucky from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2000 were marijuana-related--more than for any other substance--and the number of treatment admissions for marijuana abuse increased 27 percent from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2000. Cannabis is more frequently produced outdoors in Kentucky, but the number of indoor cannabis grows is increasing. The state ranked among the top three states in the country for the number of cannabis plants eradicated each year from 1998 through 2000. In 2000 over 460,000 marijuana plants were eradicated in Kentucky, ranking it third behind California and Hawaii, respectively. Local independent Caucasian producers produce the majority of the marijuana available in the state and are the dominant wholesale distributors of locally produced marijuana. Local independent producers also distribute Mexico-produced marijuana, frequently using it as filler for their product. Mexican criminal organizations--the primary transporters of Mexico-produced marijuana into Kentucky--usually sell wholesale quantities to local independent Caucasian dealers, who are the dominant retail distributors of Mexico-produced marijuana. Local independent Caucasian dealers also are the major retail distributors of locally cultivated marijuana. Retail cannabis sales usually happen in private residences, bars, and restaurants in the state.
