›› North Carolina: Drug Climate

The Charlotte District Office's areas of responsibility include Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh and Wilmington.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine is readily available in North Carolina. The preferred method of trafficking cocaine into North Carolina is by couriers who exploit the interstate highway network. Crack cocaine in North Carolina is readily available in both the larger cities and the rural towns.
• Heroin
  The heroin market in North Carolina is not very prevalent except for small pockets of users and distributors reported in the larger cities to include Durham, Greenville, High Point and Rocky Mount.
• Meth
  Methamphetamine use in North Carolina is increasing in popularity. Local law enforcement sources report there are many undiscovered clandestine laboratories in the Greensboro area and traffickers are actively seeking
  chemists.
• Club Drugs
  The Club Drugs that are most popular in North Carolina are MDMA, GHB and LSD. With more than 50 four-year colleges and universities in North Carolina, there is a large potential market for club drugs.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana from both Mexican and local sources continues to be abundantly available in North Carolina. The majority of marijuana available in North Carolina is smuggled across the U.S. border from Mexico and transported to its destination within the state.
