Drug Use Patterns and Trends 2018
A report to present highlights on 2018 drug use patterns and trends in Texas. The findings describe that Methamphetamine is the #1 drug threat ranked by the Dallas, El Paso, and Houston Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) field divisions. Indicators of drug use (poison control calls, treatment admissions, deaths, and toxicology reports on substances seized and identified) all show methamphetamine is a larger problem than heroin. Methamphetamine continues to be made using phenyl-2-propanone, not cold medicines, and major drug seizures of large quantities imported from Mexico are more commonly reported.

Re-emergence of Cocaine and Methamphetamine Use in the 21st Century
The current opioid crisis is arguably the most deadly public health epidemic since the 1918, influenza pandemic in the US. However, as historians and epidemiologists, including the late David Musto from Yale and Jim Hall from Nova University in Miami have noted, specific categories of drug problems in the US tend to cycle over time and there are signs a new cycle is on the horizon. There is clear evidence that we are seeing the rise of, or the continuing serious levels of, psycho-stimulant (cocaine and methamphetamine) use.
