About $2 million of drug money passes from Arizona into Mexico each day one of several indicators that illegal drug trafficking is flourishing, according to Anthony Coulson of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Coulson was among several presenters who shared information about illegal drug usage in Graham County at the fifth annual Graham and Greenlee Substance Abuse Conference on Wednesday at the Eastern Arizona College.
About 180 people attended the annual event put on by the Graham County Substance Abuse Coalition, formerly the Graham County Anti-Meth Coalition.

The price of methamphetamines is increasing in Mexico and in Arizona, Coulson said. For example, Arizona meth prices ranged from $8,000 to $12,600 a pound in 2007. In 2009, the price was $14,000 a pound.
In Mexico, the wholesale price of meth ranged from $3,000 to $4,000 a pound in 2006. This year, that same pound of meth costs between $14,000 and $14,500, Coulson said.
As the price of meth increased, so did the frequency of a new way to manufacture the drug called the bottle method. Coulson said all the meth ingredients are placed into a bottle, such as a water bottle, and shaken.
"Someone could do it right in front of you, and you wouldn't know what they were doing," Coulson said.
He also talked about how today's technology helps drug smugglers to successfully bring illegal drugs across the international border with Mexico.
He said smugglers station lookouts on mountaintops to watch for law enforcement personnel. The lookouts use solar panels to power cell phones and radios that are used to maintain contact with smugglers.
Coulson's presentation was followed by a presentation on underage drinking, given by Shelly Mowery of the Arizona chapter of Partnership for a Drug-Free America.
Mowery said while teen use of methamphetamines is down, teenagers are abusing other substances that they perceive are not as dangerous, such as prescription medicines and alcohol.
Statistics show that 45 percent of eighth-grade students and 61 percent of 12th-grade students admit to drinking alcohol. These statistics also show that 16 percent of Graham County high school seniors say they have driven after drinking alcohol.
According to Mowery, teens turn to alcohol and prescription drugs for the following reasons:
Low perception of risk.
Usage of alcoholic beverages and prescription drugs are accepted by society.
Pills and alcoholic beverages are easy to obtain at home or from others.
She said teens believe they need substances to cope with several situations, including the following:
Stress from school.
Relationships.
Family pressures.
Moving to a new school.
Teens who use alcohol or drugs put themselves at risk for addictions as adults.
"The most serious addicts as adults began as teenagers," Mowery said.
