›› Texas: Drug Climate

Due to its geographical proximity to Mexico, drug smuggling/transportation throughout Texas is dominated by Mexican trafficking organizations. Although there is a significant drug abuse problem in Texas, more tons of illicit drugs pass through the state than are delivered for internal consumption. The primary drugs that are smuggled through Texas are cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and meth.

• Cocaine
  Texas is a distribution and transshipment area for cocaine that is transported to destinations throughout the United States. In the larger cities and the small towns crack cocaine remains easily attainable.
• Heroin
  Mexican black tar and Mexican brown heroin continue to remain the primary heroin threats in Texas. There has also been an increase in the availability of Colombian and Southwest Asian heroin in Texas.
• Meth
  Methamphetamine is readily available throughout Texas. Small clandestine laboratories produce small amounts of extremely high-quality methamphetamine and are encountered in both rural and urban areas of Texas.
• Club Drugs
  Club drugs are available in all the major cities. The most frequently abused of these club drugs are Ecstasy, LSD, Ketamine, and GHB. Other illegal drugs that are readily available include Rohypnol and PCP.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana remains readily available and is the most widely used illegal drug throughout the state of Texas. At the Ports of Entry, ton quantity seizures of marijuana are made from commercial trucks entering the United States.
