Illinois Drug Use Facts

Chicago is the main hub for Illinois' drug distributors and traffickers due to the variety of transportation means its offers by which a variety of drugs can be imported into the state. Chicago is also found to be a large player for the midwestern region of the united states because of its location.

Local authorioties have isolated most of the drug sources for the state's most predominant drugs, which consist of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and marijuana. A bulk of the activity related to street level crime and violence is tied with street gangs, as the fight for drug market control continues. Although this evidence of this violent activity has diminished in some major urban regions, other suburan and rural areas are seeing the rising effects of this ongoing gang violence. Local authorities have reported that gang related drug-trafficking poses the the most serious violent-crime related threat to the state of Illinois.

Colombian cocaine and heroin trafficking organizations, and Nigerian/West African groups trafficking in Southeast and Southwest Asian heroin. Chicago-based street gangs such as the Gangster Disciples, Vice Lords, and Latin Kings control the distribution and retail sale of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.

Mexico-based trafficking organizations transport metric-ton quantities of cocaine is regularly into Illinois, especially Chicago, which is one of the major distributor points throughout the Midwest of the United States. Lately, there has been a shortage of cocaine due to various large seizures, whichs has reflected in the increasing prices of cocaine. The Chicago area further serves as a distribution hub, supplying other cities throughout the Midwest and as far east as New York City.

Cocaine comes from the leaves of a plant called coca, which is found mostly in South America. It acts as a stimulant for the brain, it brings up your energy and endurance level and reduces hunger. It was first used for its medicinal properties in by the South Americans. For more information on cocaine, please visit our cocaine information page.

Methamphetamine is the principle drug of concern in the rural areas of central and southern Illinois and poses a serious threat to the state as a whole. The methamphetamine problem is twofold; Firstly, the large amounts of meth produced by the Mexican cartel is transported into Illinois, mostly from California and Mexico, by means of established distribution channels that are used for the smuggling of other drugs as well.

The hispanic street and motorcycle gangs are responsible for the bulk distribution of methamphetamine at retail level. The second side to this growing meth problem is the widespread of methamphetamine laboratories spawning across many areas of the state of Illinois.

One of the major problems law officials have with stopping methamphetamine production is that it can be manufacture practically everywhere. Houses, motel rooms, vehicles, can serve as a meth lab and the technique to produce it can be found on the internet.

The heroin problem in Chicago is unique, as it receives it from 4 sources known to be the main distribution points consisting of South America, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia as well as smaller amounts from Mexico. And the drug is available consistently throughout the year. Street gangs control most of the heroin distribution at reatil street level. The purity levels of heroin found in the the state are commonly lower then what has been typically observed in other East Coast markets.

In its basic form, heroin is a white powder that tastes quite bitter. When sold, heroin can be of different color, such as white, dark brown, etc. Black tar heroin gets its name from its roofing tar like appearance (sticky, dark brown or black). It is sometimes hard like coal. You can find more information on heroin here.

Although heroin, cocaine and meth present all significant drug threats in the state of Illinois, Marijuana remains the most widely abused drug in the state, and is also the most easilya available drug. The primary wholesalers of marijuana in Chicago are the same Mexico-based organizations who supply most of the cocaine, methamphetamine, and Mexican heroin in the Chicago area. In addition, local marijuana production in both outdoor and indoor cultivation sites is increasing in many areas.
