›› New York: Drug Climate

New York City is one of the most significant drug destinations and distribution centers in the United States. Heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, and MDMA have the most significant impact on New York. In the last six months, methamphetamine-related incidents have increased, however, methamphetamine trafficking and abuse has a lesser impact on New York than the previously mentioned illegal drugs.

• Cocaine
  Colombia-based distributors continue to supply New York's top cocaine rings. Cocaine is distributed at the retail level via street sales and sales in businesses such as bars and small grocery stores. Retail level cocaine organizations that deliver to homes and offices via car service are becoming more prominent in New York City. Crack cocaine, while much less of a problem than in the late 1980s and early 1990s, continues to be available in economically depressed areas in all major New York cities.
• Heroin
  South American heroin is by far the most common type of heroin available in New York. Dime bags are most frequently sold in "bundles" of ten for $100.
• Meth
  Meth trafficking and abuse is a limited but growing problem in New York.
• Club Drugs
  Most of New York City's meth supply is from the west coast via couriers who fly to the west coast, pick up one-half pound to a kilogram of meth and then return to the New York area. Almost all ecstasy pills are sold with logos stamped in, creating brands for users to seek out.
• Marijuana
  Most of the marijuana entering the New York City area, and some upstate regions, arrives via airfreight or auto/truck transport from Florida, Canada, or the southwestern United States. A large percentage of marijuana trafficking within the New York City area continues to be dominated by individuals with past or present Traditional Organized Crime associations.
