Which Drugs Are Most Trafficked to Your State? Follow the Arrows on These Maps

The maps below show how cocaine, heroin, marijuana, MDMA (ecstasy) and meth enter into and travel around the United States. The maps are from an analysis by the U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC). They illustrate NDIC's assessment of the primary, secondary and tertiary highway routes that traffickers predominantly used between 2008 and 2010, the most up-to-date data. The size of the arrows indicates the incidence and volume.
Cocaine
Cocaine is smuggled across the border primarily in Southern California and South Texas. It is transported toward heavily populated cities in the eastern United States. "Atlanta, in particular, has emerged over the past several years as a key wholesale cocaine distribution hub," NDIC reports. They also note that a significant amount of cocaine smuggled into California is headed for Canada. Clearly, a good amount of trafficking and consumption activity is occurring in the Northeast region near New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
