Cocaine is most commonly consumed in crack form. Intelligence indicates that cocaine trafficking organizations are experiencing difficulty receiving cocaine from their Mexican and Latin suppliers; which is attributed to the increased commitment and successes of law enforcement and military personnel in their efforts to impede the flow of illicit drugs to and through the United States. Consequently, increased cocaine prices have been reported across the state. The use of heroin has remained stable over the last six years and is generally limited to a small number of long time users. Marijuana abuse and trafficking is a serious problem in Tennessee, especially in rural areas of the state. The availability and demand for methamphetamine continues to increase throughout Tennessee. Much of the methamphetamine consumed in the state is transported from Mexico and states along the Southwest Border. Methamphetamine use and abuse is anticipated to increase in Tennessee as the drug gains popularity over crack cocaine. The occurrence of clandestine methamphetamine labs has increased 20.5% from 2007-2008. Tennessee continues to have a growing “club drug” problem, with MDMA (ecstasy), LSD, and GHB being the most common drugs of abuse. These drugs are frequently sold at Raves and have been identified in the cities of Nashville and Knoxville. Diverted pharmaceuticals pose a growing problem in Tennessee. The Tennessee Medical Board indicates that consumption of hydromorphone, hydrocodone, meperidine, and amphetamine are above average in the state. Dilaudid and morphine are also mentioned as heavily abused drugs.
