Cocaine and crack cocaine continue to be among the most widely available drugs throughout Georgia. Bulk quantities of powder cocaine are usually transported into the state and then converted into crack by the local wholesaler or retailer. There are regions of Georgia where heroin abuse appears to be climbing. Marijuana is the most commonly abused drug in Georgia and is readily available throughout the state. Mexico and the southwest border are the most common sources of marijuana imported and distributed in Georgia. Clandestine laboratories involved in the production of methamphetamine have declined in Georgia since legislation was enacted in 2005 to restrict the sale of over-the-counter products containing pseudoephedrine, one of the essential chemicals used in the production of methamphetamine. MDMA, GHB and ketamine continue to be popular and remain readily available in and around populations of young people, such as gyms and college campuses throughout the state. Diverted pharmaceutical controlled substances are widely available with Xanax® (alprazolam), Valium® (diazepam), Dilaudid® (hydromorphone), Demerol® (meperidine), and Percodan® (oxycodone) being the most sought after. Current investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone products (such as Vicodin®), OxyContin® and pseudoephedrine continues to be a problem in Georgia.
