A Message from Honolulu Prosecutor Peter Carlisle

Brain of a Healthy Adult Brain of an Ice User 4 months after quitting
Before using Meth 4 years of using Meth

Crystal Methamphetamine use in Hawaii has risen to unprecedented levels. Here are some grim facts about the State of Hawaii:

38% of all arrestees in Honolulu tested positive for Ice followed by 29% in Sacramento and 28% in San Jose - National Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring Program, 2001

Hawaii has the nation's highest rate of adults who have tried ice. - Department of Health

Ice has replaced alcohol as the primary substance used by Hawaii adults served by treatment programs - Department of Health, Drug Abuse Division

Deaths attributed to crystal meth have almost doubled in two years. They have surpassed those related to alcohol - Honolulu Medical Examiner's Office

Nationally in 2001 14% of sentenced traffickers were involved with methamphetamines. In Hawaii the rate was 51%. - U.S. Attorney's Office

Welcome to Hawaii's Ice Age. Ice usage is not a victimless crime. The use of Ice induces addicts to commit other crime, mainly property crime, in order to get the money to support their habit. This may account for the unusually high property crime rate in Hawaii. The drug is so addictive that users will go through any means necessary, including violence, in order to obtain the drug.
