The drug threat in Florida
Geographically, Florida is in a unique situation because it is primarily bordered on all sides by water except for the northern border of the state and the western tip of the panhandle region. As nice as this sounds, and despite the fact that it is a highly targeted tourist destination, it is also a paradise for DTO’s or Drug Trafficking Organizations. The fact that it is bordered on the east by the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and the Caribbean to the south, there are thousands of miles of shoreline that drug traffickers take advantage of.
According to the DEA in a report released at the end of 2009 (2010 report not yet released), the primary drug threats in Florida today are cocaine (crack or powder form), heroin, and methamphetamine. Marijuana usually gets trafficked in from out of state by land although there is some being grown in the state, the three mentioned prior are the primary concerns that are shipped in to a port of entry that is coastal. Additionally, the National Health Institute considers the addiction to any of these as a serious public health threat.
