Colorado is a state that is very diverse. For drug dealers this is the perfect setting to blend it with the communities and become friends with the residents. The state is quite large and has cities that mix well with the drug industry. The mountain ranges provide residents with homes that are secluded and easily navigated by people smuggling in drugs.

Denver is a city full of robust nightlife and distribution of methamphetamines, MDMA (Ecstasy), marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. The state of Colorado has beautiful scenery and a big drug problem. Its mass transit system gives drug dealers ample opportunities to smuggle in and move drugs through the state and beyond.

Substance abuse in Colorado has been a steady rise for meth use and a decline for others, such as marijuana and cocaine. While those numbers are down, the amount of drugs being done in the state is still high and not disappearing. That is no surprise to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Looking at all the states will show that drug use is on the rise, meth is at the top, and marijuana is always easily accessible and kids as young as 12 were getting hooked.

Just as other states, Colorado is another one that is constantly frequented by Mexican drug trafficking. Cocaine is heavily trafficked in the state of Colorado. Crack cocaine is also popular in the larger cities within the state. Black tar and brown heroin are readily available in the Colorado area and the number of users is on the rise. Meth, of course, is used in the state by way of Mexican smuggling and California labs. Smaller, home based labs do exist with help from local pharmacies that carry pseudo-ephedrine.

Other drugs popular for substance abuse in the state of Colorado includes marijuana and club inspired drugs. Marijuana is very common and easily available. The drug is trafficked and small amounts for medical use is allowed as stated in Colorado’s Amendment 20.

Club drugs can lead a user down a destructive path to eventual drug rehab. These include MDMA, which remains the most popular and is more commonly referred to as Ecstasy. Others are Ketamine, GHB, and the ever psychedelic LSD.

The Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration is all about getting patients clean and on to a sober lifestyle. Colorado is on a mission to provide its residents with the same treatment and dedication. In 1998, the state spent a staggering $845 million on drug and alcohol programs. That averages to almost $220 per individual resident in Colorado. The state offers drug and alcohol treatment and recovery centers for all types of budgets. Some are quite expensive while others are little to no charge at all.

If you or someone that you know is suffering from substance abuse, then it is time to call and get help. There are drug rehabs available that help people who are addicted to heroin, cocaine, alcohol and everything in between. It is not too late.
