The Statistics on Meth in Hawaii
Letās start our exploration of the meth problem in Hawaii by looking at some of their statistics. According to the Hawaii Meth Project, the rate of meth abuse in Hawaii is far higher than the national average. The island state seems to have an incredibly centered and focused meth abuse micro-epidemic. (Although if you were to talk about the issue with the Hawaiians, theyād say there was nothing āmicroā about it.)
In 2013, the state of Hawaii lost 120 of its residents to drug-related deaths. Sixty-one of those deaths were related to methamphetamine use.
The financial toll on the state of Hawaii due to meth abuse comes in at about $500 million a year. These costs accrue in the form of incarceration of drug offenders, foster care for the children of meth addicts, lost employee productivity due to addicts losing their jobs, needed healthcare services for physically-debilitated meth users, and the treatment of addicts through rehab centers.
The prevalence of meth use in Hawaii is astronomical. Positive drug tests for meth in the Hawaiian workforce is 410 percent greater than the national average. Furthermore, no less than 90 percent of all federally sentenced drug cases in Hawaii involve meth.
Meth is also closely connected to violent crime and theft in Hawaii. Much of the violence and theft that occurs in Hawaii is because of meth (addicts stealing or committing violence in order to get more meth).
