Abstract

The use of drugs of abuse has been taking on increasing proportions in our society. Each year is notable the increase in the number of users and the emergence of new substances with the capacity to cause physical or psychological dependence on the individual. The Paraíba Scientific Police Institute is an organ belonging to the State Civil Police, which has an area responsible for the analysis of seized drugs. In this context, the present study aimed to create a profile of abuse drugs seized and admitted to the IPC-JP between January and November 2017. Data collection was done through the analysis of 1851 reports on drug admissions of abuse, where the following information was extracted: finding number, definitive award number, substance specialty, initial result, date of entry, month of admission, quantity, date of exit, method used for identification and final result. It was possible to draw up a panorama containing information on the incidence of drugs, on their methods of analysis, on the work of the police and on the work of the Institute, demonstrating the current scientific situation and the prospects for progress prevention policies. The results point to marijuana as the most seized drug, followed by cocaine and antiparkinsonian drug artane. Seizures of cocaine in the form of stone represent almost twice the number of seizures of the powder form. Compared with the previous year, there was a significant increase in the number of drug seizures of abuse. In 87% of the analyzes the analytical scheme followed the recommendations of SWGDRUG. The results presented are intended to assist with programs and actions aimed at preventing and combating drug use and trafficking.
