Valium was declared by 70 percent of the people. with the average person bringing in 237 tablets. Rohypnol was brought in by 43 percent of those who declared their prescription medication. Over a full year. that means that over 4 million doses of Valium and almost 1.5 million doses of Rohypnol were brought in at a single border crossing. The median age for those who declared Valium and Rohypnol? It was 24 and 26 years old respectively. The large quantity of dangerous drugs passing through a single border crossing underscores the seriousness of this problem. The quantity and types of pills discovered also backup DEAs view that these drugs are being used for illegal purposes. While this problem is most noticeable in communities along the U.S.-Mexico border. it impacts communities well outside the southwest.
