›› Georgia: Drug Climate

Historically, the southeastern United States, especially the Atlanta metropolitan area, has been an important transshipment center for the movement of illicit drugs. Georgia, and especially Atlanta, has changed dramatically to both a transshipment center and a local distribution center for Mexico-based drug trafficking organizations.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine is one of the major drugs of choice for abusers throughout the Southeast, and is readily available at both the wholesale and retail levels. Mexico-based traffickers control the majority of cocaine transported into the state. Crack cocaine is also a serious problem within Georgia.
• Heroin
  Heroin availability remains stable in the Atlanta area and is available in other cities within Georgia. The Port of Savannah is a target for Colombian heroin traffickers.
• Meth
  The majority of the meth seized in Georgia has originated from Mexico, California, and Texas. Mexico-based traffickers control the market for imported meth in Georgia.
• Club Drugs
  The most popular Club Drugs abused in Georgia are MDMA and GHB. Ecstasy is readily available in Atlanta's nightclubs; however, "Rave" parties and concerts targeting a younger population are minimal.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana remains the most widely abused drug in Georgia. Mexican nationals control the vast majority of all imported marijuana within Georgia.
