In the Chicago area, MDMA (ecstasy) continues to be the most
prominently identified of the club drugs, and its use appears to have increased
among African Americans, principally those in their teens and twenties. Ecstasy
is increasingly available in street drug markets, though availability varies
across the city.
Overall, use of methamphetamine remains low in Chicago, though some indicators have increased slightly, reflecting higher use of methamphetamine in some parts of the city. A low but stable prevalence of methamphetamine use has been reported for a number of years in the North Side area.
Heroin from all four source areas (South America, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and to a lesser extent Mexico) is available in Chicago on a consistent basis from year to year. Purity levels are lower than typically observed in East Coast markets. The average retail-level heroin purity in Chicago was reported to be 21.4%, an increase from 14.7% purity reported in 2006.
The majority of quantitative and qualitative cocaine indicators suggest that use remains stable at high levels and that cocaine continues to be a serious drug problem for Chicago. According to recent reports from the Drug Enforcement Administrations (DEA) Chicago Field Division (CFD), Chicago experienced a cocaine shortage during the end of the 2nd quarter and throughout the 3rd quarter of 2007. Preliminary unweighted data from the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) for 2006 indicate that 8,970 of the total emergency department (ED) reports were related to cocaine.
