›› Vermont: Drug Climate

Marijuana, domestic and imported, is the most widely abused drug in the State of Vermont. Cocaine is a significant problem throughout the state, particularly in the urban areas. Law enforcement officials report minimal availability of methamphetamine.

• Cocaine
  Cocaine is readily available throughout Vermont and is widely abused by illicit drug users. Cocaine traffickers in Vermont, most often Caucasians, obtain the drug from source areas in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. Crack cocaine is not widely available in the state, although there is limited availability.
• Heroin
  There is widespread availability of heroin in the state of Vermont in street/user level quantities. A typical heroin distributor in Vermont is a heroin user who distributes the drug in order to support his/her heroin addiction. The most common method of transport of heroin between Vermont and source areas is the use of automobiles.
• Meth
  There is not a significant methamphetamine problem in Vermont.
• Club Drugs
  Ecstasy appears to be widely available in Vermont. Several thousand-tablet seizures of MDMA have been made at ports of entry in Vermont. There have not been any reports of widespread availability of other club drugs such as GHB or ketamine.
• Marijuana
  Marijuana is readily available in all areas of Vermont, and it is the drug of choice for illicit drug users. The marijuana smuggled into Vermont often is carried in backpacks across remote areas between the ports of entry; tractor-trailers containing marijuana loads also transport the drug across the U.S./Canada border.
