›› New Mexico: Drug Climate

The greatest drug threat in New Mexico is the transshipment of drugs and drug proceeds by Mexican drug organizations. These organizations in New Mexico are able to distribute multi-kilogram quantities of various types of drugs locally and regionally.

• Cocaine
  The shipping of cocaine through New Mexico is increasing at an alarming rate. Routinely, multiple kilogram quantities are seized from commercial trucks, public transportation and private vehicles. Acquisition of crack cocaine is readily available throughout New Mexico, but is most prevalent in urban areas.
• Heroin
  The availability of heroin in New Mexico has shown a steady increase over the past five years. The majority of heroin seized in New Mexico is brown or black tar heroin.
• Meth
  Meth is available in New Mexico in multiple kilogram quantities. Meth located in New Mexico generally originates in Mexico, but arrives in New Mexico from distributors in Los Angeles and Phoenix.
• Club Drugs
  In New Mexico MDMA (Ecstasy), Ketamine, LSD, and GHB are obtainable, primarily in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Raves are held routinely in the area, often in remote locations on US Forest Service lands.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana is the most prevalent drug in New Mexico. Seizures of marijuana range from a few kilograms to ton quantities.
