Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of countries (and some territories) by the annual prevalence of opiates use as percentage of the population aged 15–64 (unless otherwise indicated).

The primary source of information is the World Drug Report 2006 (WDR 2006),[1] published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The indicator is the "annual prevalence" rate which is shown as a percentage of the youth and adult population who have consumed the drug at least once in the past year. The largest producer of opiates in the world is Afghanistan to a total of 93% of the world's market.[2]
