Notes:

Illinois provides data on four types of drug offenses. Marijuana offenses are violations of the Cannabis Control Act. Controlled Substances Violations concern other drugs, do not include marijuana arrests, and are classified separately. Two other types of drug offenses are violations of the Hypodermic Syringes and Needles Act and the Drug Paraphernalia Act. These violations are not included in these tables. In these tables on drug-related arrests in Illinois, drug offenses include violations of the Controlled Substances Act and the Cannabis Control Act only.
