The World Drug Report 2010, published by the UNODC, shows Saudi authorities confiscated 12.8 metric tons of amphetamine in 2008. A total of 24.3 metric tons of amphetamine were seized worldwide that year, with 15.3 metric tons seized in the wider Middle East

Does Saudi have world's biggest amphetamine habit? - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/07/23/middle.east.drugs.amphetamine/index.html)

How does this compare w/ U.S. habit? What is the difference between metric ton's and and a ton?

Does this tie into Mexican/U.S. drug trade or does it ?

A US ton is about 90% of a metric ton.
