Seizures of amphetamines have risen sharply in Saudi Arabia, signaling a surge in consumption of the illegal stimulant in the kingdom, according to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Saudi Arabia accounted for 28% of all global amphetamine seizures in 2006, the latest year for which data are available. The quantities impounded in the kingdom started to rise sharply in 2004 and reached 12.3 tonnes in 2006, reported the UK's Financial Times.
