Are you sure of the number of users, Chi??? I would think there would be more than the figure you quoted in the U.S.,... Because I did recheck on the documented street gang members, exerpt below in quotes;

"Most of the heroin bound for Chicago crosses the border in the El Paso area, Riley said, and is then placed into the hands of local gang members for distribution. “In Chicago, we’ve got 100,000 documented street gang members who largely make their living putting Mexican cartel heroin on the street.”
