›› Massachusetts: Drug Climate

Cocaine and heroin continue to be the primary drugs of abuse in the state of Massachusetts. With the rise in pharmacy robberies, OxyContin has become an extremely popular heroin substitute, as well as its use in conjunction with ecstasy.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine continues to be readily available from gram to kilogram quantities throughout Massachusetts. Crack Cocaine is obtained from New York, Florida, and Puerto Rico, and is converted locally as well. Abuse remains widespread and crack has been reported as the drug of choice.
• Heroin
  High-quality heroin is available from gram to kilogram quantities throughout the state of Massachusetts. Abuse remains widespread, with continued reports of heroin overdose deaths and incidences occurring throughout Massachusetts.
• Meth
  Meth has a limited availability in Massachusetts. Meth is reportedly abused at "rave" parties by young adults between the ages of 18 to 25; however, individuals in their late 30s to early 40s also abuse the drug.
• Club Drugs
  Ecstasy and ketamine are readily available. MDMA is found at rave parties, legitimate nightclubs, and on college campuses across the state. Ketamine has been diverted from legitimate sources such as veterinary clinics and abused at legitimate nightclubs across the state, particularly in the greater Boston area. GHB is widely available, particularly in western Massachusetts.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana remains readily available in all areas of the state with the majority of product originating in Mexico or the southwestern United States. Personal use quantities of hashish continue to arrive in Boston on flights from the Netherlands and other source countries.
