Colorado Drug Rehab has helped implement drug prevention programs in Vail and the concerned citizens of Vail are very active in a number of coalitions that address alcohol and tobacco advertising and creating pro-social activities for the community. However, all of Colorado's ski areas have entertainment industries that are supported heavily by the alcohol industry, especially those beverages that tout their Colorado purity. There has been considerable effort to curb the drinking competitions that were very common before the prevention coalitions raised the awareness of parents and public health officials.

NEWS ITEM FROM VAIL
Legal medical marijuana is going to be dispensed in Vail starting in July. Joey Jones, a Carbondale-area resident for three years who has worked as a personal trainer locally for two years, said Monday that he has secured a location near Highway 133 in Carbondale to serve as the outlet for Colorado Mountain Dispensary. He declined to disclose the location, preferring to work directly with clients. Colorado voters in 2000 passed Amendment 20 to the state constitution. It authorizes individuals to use marijuana to lessen the debilitating symptoms of certain illnesses and medical conditions.
Colorado Drug Situation*
Cocaine is considered a significant drug threat
to Colorado. Powder cocaine is readily available
throughout the State and crack cocaine is available
in urban population areas as well as communities along the I-70 corridor, which transects Colorado from Grand Junction, through Denver to Kansas. A District Attorney from the 5th Judicial District of Colorado suggested that the stretch of this highway from Vail to Georgetown, Colorado is one of the heaviest drug trafficking areas in the country. Cocaine is the drug
most often associated with violent crime in
the State. Cocaine is generally sold in ounce
and pound quantities in Colorado. Crack use
has declined in some of the recent years, but the statistics for emergency room admissions for crack related problems is still higher in Vail than in most communities of equal size in Colorado.
Club drugs, which are mostly synthetic substances,
are increasing in availability and use in Colorado.
LSD in liquid form is readily available in the
metropolitan areas of Colorado. During 2001,
34% of those surveyed in Colorado reported lifetime
usage of MDMA. 4.5% of those surveyed reported
usage of MDMA within the past 30 days. The shocking statistic for MDMA use in Colorado is the fact that the average
user age was 17.3, and the average age of first
time use was 15.9 years.
Heroin - The most common types of heroin available
in Colorado are Mexican black tar heroin and
brown powdered heroin. New heroin users in Colorado
are often young adults who smoke or snort the
drug rather than inject it. This is due to a
misconception that this practice is safer and
less likely to lead to addiction.
Marijuana is readily available in multi-pound
quantities throughout Colorado . A highly potent
form of marijuana, called "BC Bud,"
is also easily obtainable.
Methamphetamine is a primary drug threat to
Colorado. Crystal methamphetamine, also known
as glass in Colorado, is becoming increasingly
available throughout the State and has tested
as high as 90% pure. Purity levels for methamphetamine
vary in Colorado.
Prescription Drugs - The diversion and abuse
of OxyContin (oxycodone) is a significant problem
in Colorado. Hydrocodone (Vicodin) and Darvocet
are the most commonly abused controlled substances.
