This Threat Assessment is a national-level strategic assessment of methamphetamine trafficking in the United States. It addresses significant trends in methamphetamine production, transportation, distribution, and abuse. It discusses a wide range of issues, including methamphetamine production in the United States and Mexico and the impact of foreign and domestic methamphetamine production trends on availability of the drug in the U.S. Drug markets. This assessment draws upon the National Drug Threat Assessment 2009, regional drug intelligence products prepared by the National Drug Intelligence Center, and reporting from numerous federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
Your questions, comments, and suggestions for future subjects are welcome at any time. Addresses are provided at the end of the page.
