United Nations Office Report on Drug Abuse
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Pakistan has 6.7 million drug users. More than 4 million of these are addicts. Abuse of cannabis and heroin is rife in the country, and the drugs are extremely cheap and easy to get. Most of the drugs come from Afghanistan. UNODC calculates that more than 800,000 Pakistanis aged between 15 and 64 use heroin regularly. It is also estimated that up to 44 tons of processed heroin are consumed annually in Pakistan—a rate of use twice or three times that of America’s. A further 110 tons of heroin and morphine from neighboring Afghanistan are trafficked through Pakistan to international markets.
