Nearly a third of convictions are drug charges

The Hill -Drug convictions made up more than 30 percent of all federal offenses in 2017, beating out immigration convictions, the second most-frequent, the addiction treatment provider said. Firearm offenses were a distant third, at 12.1 percent.

While overall drug convictions have reached their lowest point in more than two decades, methamphetamine was one of only two drugs to see an increase in related convictions from 2010 to 2017, according to the data.
