›› Mississippi: Drug Climate

The state of Mississippi is a major transshipment point for bulk quantities of illegal drugs from the Southwest Border to points north and east. Mississippi is also experiencing an increase in methamphetamine manufacture, which is a significant concern of law enforcement.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine, which is being distributed and abused throughout Mississippi, is the most problematic, high-threat drug for communities and law enforcement. Cocaine distribution in Mississippi is primarily controlled by African-American gangs and independent traffickers.
• Heroin
  Heroin is currently not a problem drug or drug of choice in Mississippi. Heroin seen in Mississippi is normally that seized in highway interdiction stops en route to large cities in the north and east such as Chicago or Atlanta.
• Meth
  The recent increase in methamphetamine manufacture, importation, use, and addiction is of great concern throughout Mississippi. Methamphetamine labs, using the chemical anhydrous ammonia and cold pills, are now frequently encountered by law enforcement throughout Mississippi, mostly in rural communities.
• Club Drugs
  The most popular Club Drug is MDMA "ecstasy." Club drugs are popular in Mississippi among a select group, primarily middle-to-upper-class young adult Caucasians. GHB and Ketamine are not currently known to be widely available or popular in Mississippi.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana is being regularly sold and used by some from all ethnic and socioeconomic groups in Mississippi. The marijuana being distributed and used in Mississippi is primarily from Mexico.
