OxyContin continues to be the pharmaceutical drug of choice in the state of Kansas, but Mexican poly-drug trafficking organizations control a large majority of the distribution of Methamphetamine, Cocaine, Heroin, and Marijuana in Kansas.
Various organizations with ties to Texas, Arizona and California continue to distribute drugs throughout the state. Other organized criminal groups, such as Asian DTOs and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are also involved with distribution in Kansas, but to a lesser degree.

Cocaine: Both Cocaine and crack Cocaine are readily available throughout the state of Kansas. Cocaine typically comes from sources of supply in Texas and California that are associated with Mexican international distribution organizations. Much of the Cocaine is converted to crack, packaged in plastic bags, and sold in the inner-city areas. Kansas City also serves as a transshipment point for Cocaine being shipped to Dayton, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; New York, New York; and to cities in New Jersey.
Heroin: The availability of Mexican black tar Heroin in most of Kansas remains limited to small, user quantities, although larger quantities can be found in cities such as Wichita and Kansas City. Law enforcement indicates that there is little or no Heroin present in western Kansas and only limited availability in the Topeka area. Although a few shipments of white Heroin have been interdicted in Kansas, they were destined for locations outside the state, and there are no indications that white Heroin is being sold or abused in Kansas.
Methamphetamine: Crystal or “ice” Methamphetamine, produced and trafficked by Mexican DTOs, is predominant throughout Kansas. Imported Mexican Methamphetamine is generally high in purity and relatively inexpensive. However, law enforcement throughout Kansas is reporting an increase in the local manufacture of Methamphetamine. Most of these laboratories operate using the “birch” method and can be found in many different locations, including residences, hotels, vehicles, and remote farm areas.
Marijuana: Marijuana remains the most widely abused illegal substance in Kansas. Mexican traffickers dominate the Marijuana market in the state, transporting large loads of lower grade Marijuana via the Interstate highway system. Some of this Marijuana is shipped on from the Kansas City area to other parts of the United States. Indoor cultivation, including hydroponically grown Marijuana, continues to be a concern in all areas. The hydroponic Marijuana is in strong demand due to its higher potency and commands a much higher price than Mexican Marijuana. A highly potent form of hydroponic Marijuana, known as “Purple Kush,” is also being found in the Kansas City area, and has been linked to several homicides.
Prescription Drugs: OxyContin continues to be the pharmaceutical drug of choice in the state of Kansas. It is favored by its users over street drugs such as Heroin due to the consistent purity and quality. Kansas lists Oxycodone products as the third most abused pharmaceutical drug. Hydrocodone is another pharmaceutical product that is commonly abused. Other substances cited include: Alprazolam, Benzodiazepine, Demerol, Dilaudid, Lortab, Methylphenidate, Morphine, Nubaine, Percocet, Percodan, Phenobarbitol, Phentermine, Prozac, Tylox, Valium, Vicodin, and Xanax. The most common methods for obtaining these substances continue to be doctor shopping, prescription forgeries, pharmacy break-ins, employee theft, pill mills, and internet pharmacy websites. This is ample reason for Kansas drug rehab, and Kansas drug detox attention state wide immediately.
Kansas has a major problem with prescription drugs like Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, Xanax, Valium, and Demerol among many others. Instead of treating drug addicts like criminals we believe people suffering from pain pill addiction, alcoholism and other drug addictions should have a comfortable drug detox to ensure long lasting sobriety and clean time. Addiction to pain killers can be one of the hardest addictions to treat and we believe that inpatient drug detox is the most effective way of dealing with prescription drug withdrawal.
