Young suburban and rural Caucasian abusers of prescription opiates in the Detroit area will increasingly experiment with heroin in the near term. Prescription opiate abusers are inclined to try heroin when purity levels are high enough for them to inhale the drug rather than inject it and when heroin is cheaper than prescription opiates.
The number and size of indoor marijuana grows will quite likely increase during the next year as local producers attempt to profit from the demand for higher-potency marijuana in the Michigan HIDTA region.
African American traffickers in the Detroit area will most likely continue to sell MDMA along with cocaine and marijuana at drug houses in Detroit, leading to increased abuse of MDMA among African Americans who previously did not have access to the drug.
Methamphetamine production in the Michigan HIDTA region has stabilized at low levels; however, small-scale producers who also use the drug will continue to find alternate sources for chemical supplies and employ simplified techniques such as the one-pot cook.
