›› Tennessee: Drug Climate

To effectively combat the drug problem in Tennessee, DEA, local police departments, state agencies, and other federal law enforcement agencies are working together in a cooperative effort to increase the impact of drug law enforcement on narcotics traffickers.

• Cocaine
  The primary drug of abuse in the State of Tennessee is cocaine, and to a lesser extent, crack. Many of the violent crimes in the state are directly associated with the distribution and abuse of cocaine and crack cocaine.
• Heroin
  Heroin abuse in the state of Tennessee is limited. The drugs of choice for the local addict population are diverted pharmaceutical drugs, such as Percodan, Percocet, and Oxycodone.
• Meth
  Second only to cocaine trafficking in the state of Tennessee is the local manufacturing of methamphetamine. Clandestine meth labs in central and southeastern Tennessee have reached epidemic proportions. It has been estimated that there is at least one methamphetamine lab either located or seized somewhere in the state
  every day.
• Club Drugs
  Tennessee has a growing "Club Drugs' problem, with MDMA (ecstasy), LSD and GHB being the most common drugs of abuse.
• Marijuana
  Locally grown cannabis has been Tennessee's largest cash crop for the past ten years, surpassing even tobacco.
