Wow! thx! have not kept up with Cody (and Warmbo, that freak, that happy mutant) in quite some time.
I came in here to ask where is FENTANYL in this list? not one state going F?

… I’d have thought the Gulf Coast would be more focused on cocaine just because it’s the closest part of the country to South America

Where is cannabis on this list? Is that no longer illicit? (I’m not complaining…just noticing.)
covered in the OP.

i was just assuming the map would be all one color if they included it, and that’s not very interesting.

Would that be lumped under “Prescription Pain Relievers”?
Also: I’m surprised at the popularity of hallucinogens. I know they’re fun, but I had no idea they were so popular. Though now that I think about it, they were often the number two drug choice after marijuana. Now that marijuana is off the list (no longer illicit), I guess it makes sense that this leaves hallucinogens at number one in a few places.

I can clear the filter on the main page and scroll through the maps, but if I go to the link I get a mature content warning with the opportunity to log-in.
As for fentanyl’s absence, they state, “I don’t think fent is really showing up in their data. NSDUH has a separate table for data on opioid misuse (which I didn’t map) that lumps together both heroin use and opioid prescription pain reliever misuse, and it includes a note stating ‘estimates of opioid misuse do not include illegally made fentanyl.’”
