DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis annual report contains estimates and analysis of the world situation regarding illegal drug production, trafficking and consumption, based on data obtained primarily from the annual reports questionnaire (ARQ), sent by governments to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in 2002, as well as other supplementary sources. The report seeks to contribute to regular assessments of the current scale of the global drug problem, in order to help provide an improved knowledge base for policymaking. The first section of the report deals with trends in the production, trafficking and consumption of opium/heroin, cocaine, cannabis and amphetamine-type stimulants; whilst the second part provides the statistics on which these globally aggregated estimates and trends are based.
