Responsibilities
and Objectives The
Supply Reduction and Control Section is responsible for assisting CICAD
member states in strengthening their capacity to control drugs and
related contraband. This includes illicit drugs such as the heroin,
cocaine and marijuana that are plant-based as well as MDMA
(Ecstasy), amphetamine-like stimulants, hallucinogens and other
synthetic or chemical-based drugs as well as the chemicals used to
produce both classes of drugs. There are also certain pharmaceutical
drugs used for medical or scientific purposes that are subject to abuse
that are diverted from legitimate medical channels. In addition to the
foregoing, the Section works with member states to strengthen other
aspects of drugs control including general drug enforcement and customs
work, maritime cooperation, and port security.
