Meth Lab Statistics Louisiana
September 3, 2008
Methamphetamine continues to be a major drug threat in Louisiana. Law enforcement reporting indicates that, in some areas, methamphetamine is replacing crack cocaine as the primary drug threat due to its availability, low cost and long lasting effects.
Methamphetamine production and distribution generates violent crimes and hazardous conditions. Most of the methamphetamine available in Louisiana is produced in Mexico and the southwestern states and is transported into Louisiana via Mexican DTOs.
Illicit methamphetamine laboratories discovered in Louisiana do not produce large enough quantities for distribution throughout the state. Independent Caucasian groups are the primary local producers and retail distributors of methamphetamine in Louisiana. More Black Americans are becoming involved in methamphetamine distribution.
