• Meth
  Methamphetamine is rarely distributed or abused in Connecticut.
• Club Drugs
  Ecstasy is readily available and has become a popular drug of choice among college age individuals residing in Connecticut. Organized Crime Groups are responsible for a portion of the distribution of ecstasy throughout the state.

The marijuana available in Connecticut is Mexico-produced and distributed by Mexican groups located in Arizona, southern California, and Texas. Locally produced marijuana is also available in Connecticut. Cannabis is cultivated indoors and outdoors in Connecticut.
