OverviewCalifornia is one of the most active drug smuggling and production areas in the United States. The state's vast transportation infrastructure and its proximity to both Mexico and the Pacific Ocean are conducive to drug trafficking, particularly the movement of large quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other dangerous drugs to drug markets within and outside California. Southern California, primarily Los Angeles, is a national level transportation hub and distribution center for illicit drugs. As a result, all drugs of abuse are readily available in the state. Methamphetamine poses the most significant drug threat to California. Cocaine and heroin are prevalent throughout the state, and prices and purity levels for each are relatively stable. Marijuana is the most readily available and widely abused drug. Other dangerous drugs such as MDMA and GHB are emerging threats throughout the state. |
