The sociology specialist, Dr. Hassan Al-Khuzaei, confirmed that the situation in Jordan is serious due to a widespread war waged against the country from multiple fronts. He explained that traffickers use methods such as balloons and drones to smuggle drugs. He emphasized that security agencies and the Drug Enforcement Administration are exerting significant efforts, which have led to a reduction in the number of cases from 25,000 in 2024 to 22,000 in 2025, reaching 15,342 cases in 2026. Additionally, 231 smuggling attempts have been thwarted, including 56 via drones. He pointed out that a drug crime occurs in Jordan every 23 minutes and 51 seconds. Moreover, 72% of these cases relate to drug use, while 28% involve trafficking. The report also showed that drug users spend between 10 and 15 Jordanian dinars daily. It revealed that 66% of related crimes, especially fraud, involve addicts. The report uncovered the involvement of foreigners in 580 trafficking cases and 1,424 possession and use cases, as well as 1,010 incidents of assault on girls. He clarified that the age at first drug use has dropped to nine years old, with 56 minors involved in drug trafficking in 2025. Furthermore, 74% of addicts began before age 21. The causes of drug use include peer pressure, family breakdown, and the presence of drugs inside homes. Half of the addicts are single, while 42% are married.
