Texas is a large state and shares its border with Mexico. This experience has made drug trafficking a tremendous obstacle for law enforcement and state government. The drug trade is big business in Texas and has been connected to the influx of illegal immigrants coming across the border. The passage of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) more than ten years ago has increased the amount of drug trafficking. Rural, desolate areas in New Mexico and western Texas have long provided a haven for drug smugglers into the state. Large amounts of drugs are seized at the border every day. Drug traffickers get warehouses in El Paso where they hid the drugs and the money from drug sales. Drug traffickers often recruit mules to transport drugs. Cocaine is available in large quantities in Texas. Most of the cocaine supply is made into crack cocaine and sold for high prices in many communities in Texas. The supply of crack cocaine has infiltrated Texas schools and abuse is widespread. Heroin trafficking continues from Mexico, and the medical, social and economic consequences continue to grow in Texas. Methamphetamine is the most abused drug in Texas. Most of the methamphetamine comes from Mexico. The ephedrine ban has made secret laboratories rare, but homegrown laboratories have created problems for law enforcement and safety officials. Club drugs continue to be popular, primarily among high school and college students. Prescription drug addiction continues to grow at an amazing rate. Texas has a severe shortage of physicians and this has forced physicians from other states to be permitted to write prescriptions in Texas. This has only fueled the prescription drug epidemic.
