Law Enforcement Efforts To Control

Domestically Grown Marijuana




The amount of marijuana grown in the
United States is increasing It accounted for
an estimated 15 percent of the total amount
of marijuana available in the United States
in 1982 compared with an estimated 9 per-
cent in 1981 The estimated total amount
available in the United States in 1982 was
between 12,340 and 14,090 metric tons,
and in 1981, the amount was between
9,600 and 13,900 metric tons

Controlling domestic marijuana cultivation
is primarily a state and local law enforce-
ment responsibility The Drug Enforcement
Administration provides and coordinates
federal assistance

Most states expect domestic marijuana pro-
duction to continue to increase In respond-
ing to a GAO questionnaire, the states re-
ported that more resources are needed to
combat this expected growth
