Also, the rising availability of high-purity, low-cost heroin is creating a large user population with a greater physical risk to users, who are younger than ever before. Marijuana remains the most abused drug in the state, and abuse among residents under 18 years of age ranks highest among all age groups. Club drugs and MDMA (Ecstasy) are also growing in popularity in urban areas. Meanwhile, methamphetamine manufacturing and use are increasing, but has not reached the levels of other states in the Midwest.
