Cocaine, primarily crack, is the predominant drug threat in Louisiana because of the high rate of addiction and violence associated with the drug. Cocaine is widely available and frequently distributed across the state. Cocaine abuse is reported in both metropolitan cities and rural areas of the state. With the exception of the greater New Orleans area, heroin distribution and abuse do not pose significant threats in Louisiana. Marijuana continues to be the most commonly abused drug in Louisiana and reports indicate that it is the gateway drug for teens and young adults to experiment with other illicit drugs. Modern indoor cultivation techniques have led to the availability of high-grade marijuana within the state. Methamphetamine continues to be a major drug threat in Louisiana and law enforcement reporting indicates that methamphetamine is replacing crack cocaine as the primary drug threat in some areas due to its availability, low cost and long lasting effects. The abuse and distribution of club drugs in Louisiana is on the rise. Police and treatment counselors throughout the state report an increase in the availability and abuse of MDMA (ecstasy), Ketamine, Rohypnol, LSD and GHB. The abuse of pharmaceutical drugs continues to rise at an alarming rate. Law enforcement officials report OxyContin, hydrocodone and Xanax abuse continues to be a viable threat.
