The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration lists Idaho as a state that has unfortunate ties with Mexico and its trafficking of drugs through the state. Marijuana, meth, and cocaine are heavily distributed and the devastation has completely ravished Idaho communities and families. The state’s location puts it in the perfect place to smuggle marijuana from Canada into the United States across the border. Drug trafficking here has lead to an increase in money laundering schemes so that the illegal proceeds from drug deals can be redistributed throughout the drug world.
The ideal landscape in Idaho is perfect for marijuana growing and distribution. The drug is sometimes grown indoors and even smuggled in from Mexico or by way of Canada on its way to the US. These are not the best ways that Idaho drug dealers wish to get marijuana, but it works. When the drug is perfectly cultivated it comes from local properties or state and federal lands that of which are controlled by Mexican nationals.
Not all drugs that lead to substance abuse are illegal by nature according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Prescriptions pills and over the counter medications are a major threat in Idaho and all across the US. These drugs can be easily found in medicine cabinets and parents need to be warned. Drugs, like Vicadin and methadone are at the top of the list and many more. These require doctor’s prescriptions, but they can be obtained from multiple doctor visits and even internet ordering. Over the counter medication that contains ephedrine can be used in home labs to produce methamphetamine.
States do have laws preventing multiple purchases of medicines that contain ephedrine and while Idaho has seen a decrease in home labs the state still has issues with drugs and its effects on its users. Cocaine is on the streets in Idaho, but it is not a high threat and neither is the rock form of coke referred to as crack cocaine. Black tar heroin has made an appearance in the state along with traces of brown heroin. This drug is smuggled in.
All states with clubs, parties, and raves have to deal with club drugs, like Ecstasy. Idaho is no different. It is popular with young adults looking for the ultimate party experience. The drug is believed to be smuggled from Canada into the state of Washington and into Idaho. The pills can be fairly inexpensive and the consequences are far greater.
Any type of drug abuse can lead a user into drug and alcohol programs. Treatment for drug and alcohol abuse can be hard for an addict to admit they need. This is the first step in the road to recovery and sobriety. The families of someone who is suffering from substance abuse can also be affected. Drug rehabs can be for both the individual and the family as well. One on one counseling is a great tool and can be more extensive through inpatient programs.
