›› Nebraska: Drug Climate

Methamphetamine is the major concern for law enforcement within the state of Nebraska. Nebraska continues to be a transshipment state for Mexican methamphetamine with Interstate 80 providing easy west to east access across the state.

• Cocaine
  In Nebraska, cocaine is predominantly controlled by Hispanic trafficking organizations, many from Mexico. In large urban centers of Nebraska crack cocaine is a serious problem.
• Heroin
  While heroin is not considered a drug of choice in Nebraska, some Hispanic trafficking organizations have heroin available.
• Meth
  Meth is the greatest drug threat to the state of Nebraska, and is available in almost every town and community. Meth produced in clandestine labs is also readily available in many communities in addition to the large amount of meth smuggled in by Hispanic drug organizations.
• Club Drugs
  The popularity of these drugs is increasing at an alarming rate in Nebraska, as there is a perception among users that these drugs are "safe" to use. Much of the ecstasy in Nebraska is brought from both Florida and Arizona. There are efforts currently underway to link investigations of mid-level distributors and "Rave" parties.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana is the most prevalent illicit drug in Nebraska. The production of marijuana both outdoor and hydroponic indoor grows have steady, with many seizures netting upwards of 500plants.
