›› Oklahoma: Drug Climate

The principal drug of concern in the State of Oklahoma is meth. The meth in Oklahoma is produced in Mexico and the Southwest United States as well as locally. Crack cocaine is a significant problem in the urban areas of Oklahoma. Oklahoma also serves as a transshipment point for drugs being transported to the eastern United States.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine continues to be readily available throughout Oklahoma. Mexican polydrug traffickers dealing in marijuana and methamphetamine bring some of the cocaine into the state. Much of the cocaine in Oklahoma is converted into crack cocaine and sold locally at street level.
• Heroin
  Black Tar heroin is available in limited quantities near the metropolitan areas in Oklahoma. It is rare to encounter brown or white heroin, though in rare instances, "white" heroin from Colombia has been seen. The demand for heroin has declined in the recent years.
• Meth
  Meth is the primary drug of choice in Oklahoma. Most of the methamphetamine in the state is brought in by Hispanic organizations via motor vehicles, commercial airlines, and mail delivery services. Small "mom and pop" labs continue to be a significant problem throughout Oklahoma.
• Club Drugs
  The state of Oklahoma is seeing an increase in the abuse of "club drugs," such as MDMA and GHB.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana is readily available in all areas of Oklahoma, and is the main illegal drug of abuse in the state. The marijuana in Oklahoma is generally imported from Mexico along with other illegal drugs.
