›› Kansas: Drug Climate

The primary drug of concern in the state of Kansas is meth. It is both imported and domestically produced. Additionally, crack cocaine is readily available throughout the state. Kansas is a transshipment point for drugs being transported to the eastern United States.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine is readily available throughout Kansas. A high level of violent crime is also associated with the drug.
• Heroin
  Low-purity Mexican heroin is available in personal use quantities throughout the urban areas of Kansas. Most of the heroin in Kansas is what is known as black tar heroin. Kansas Highway Patrol is noting an increase in the interstate transportation of heroin through the state.
• Meth
  Meth is the primary drug of concern in Kansas. A large percentage of the meth in Kansas is smuggled in by Hispanic organizations by motor vehicles, commercial airlines, and mail delivery services.
• Club Drugs
  The state of Kansas is seeing an increase in the abuse of "club drugs," such as MDMA (Ecstasy) and GHB. In all parts of Kansas ecstasy is found at Rave parties. GHB is also a drug of concern throughout the state. Officials in Barton County, in central Kansas, report GHB from Canada is available in the area.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana is readily available throughout Kansas. The marijuana in Kansas is imported from Mexico through cities on the southwest border and transported in large quantities by the interstate highways.
