Louisiana Drug Abuse Facts

The main drug threats for the state of Louisiana are cocaine (crack cocaine), methamphetamine and marijuana. Aside from these most common drug threats, there has been a notice in the rise of club drugs, notably MDMA (ecstasy), LSD and GHB amongst others.

Louisiana neighbors one of the largest bodies of water in the world - the Gulf of Mexico. This factor alone contributes to Louisiana's notoriously historic title as a drug smuggling center. With over 6,000 miles of open waterways, and even larger stretches of broken shorelines, drug traffickers are presented with facilitated means of entering large quantities of drugs into the state. Local law enforcement have been busy with higher numbers of drug seizures on the highways of Louisiana, which is another popular means of importing drugs thanks to the states proximity to several major source cities. Although, despite the added pressure by authorities, the drug problem seems to be on the rise.

Crack cocaine, more than powdered cocaine, is a primary drug threat in Louisiana. The most threatening part for the state of Louisiana is percentage of violent acts and crimes related to the abuse and distribution of cocaine. This drug affects both the rural and the metropolitan area of Louisiana.

Mexican DTOs and Black-American criminal groups transport the majority of the powdered cocaine into Louisiana. DTOs and criminal groups are the primary wholesale distributors of powdered cocaine. Black American street gangs and local Black American independent dealers are the chief distributors of crack at the retail level.

Methamphetamine is increasing in Louisiana. It is even reported that because of its cost and the longer-lasting effects, it has surpassed cocaine in some parts of the state. Most of the meth found in Louisiana comes from Mexico, because the amount of local methamphetamine laboratories can’t produce enough for the demand.

Meth has as its most frightening effect a very strong addiction. This addiction is not something that easy to get rid of. It first starts with actually using the drug, then the person has a compulsive need to take some more, and so seeks the drug. While all this is happening, some clear changes are happening in the brain, making the person act the way she does.

Marijuana is the drug of choice and most commonly abused drug in Louisiana. Reports have indicated that many teens and young adults who have moved on to more harder drugs, have started with marijuana.

The Mexico produced marijuana is a main source for the distribution of marijuana. Local cultivators of marijuana are also another source for the drug, although offering a more more high grade quality of the drug, it has found itself in a competitive clash with the Mexican DTOs, who are selling the drug cheaper.
