›› Maryland: Drug Climate

Maryland is situated on the north end of the mid-Atlantic region and bisected by Interstate-95. Maryland's drug situation is complicated by the presence of two major metropolitan areas in the state: Baltimore and its surrounding counties in the northern part of the state, and the suburban counties of Washington, DC, in southern Maryland.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine and crack abuse and distribution pose a significant threat throughout the state of Maryland, particularly in cities situated near Washington, DC. Wholesale levels of cocaine are readily available via suppliers in New York City and the southwestern U.S.
• Heroin
  Heroin is commonly abused throughout Maryland but is most problematic in and around the city of Baltimore. The enormous demand for heroin in the Baltimore metropolitan area led to an increase in the drug's abuse among teens and young adults, who routinely drive into the city to obtain heroin for themselves and other local abusers. Highly pure heroin - "raw" - marketed toward suburban users is sometimes packaged in vials (much like crack cocaine).
• Meth
  Meth is not in high demand nor is it widely available in Maryland.
• Club Drugs
  Baltimore maintains a thriving "rave" and nightclub scene in which club drugs, usually Ecstasy (MDMA), are abused. Club drugs such as Ketamine, GHB and others do not carry the same demand nor availability as ecstasy.
• Marijuana
  The most widely-abused drug in Maryland, marijuana remains easily available in every part of the state.
