New Mexico is at a major junction in the war on drugs, and the drug issues that have plagued New Mexico have only intensified since the opioid epidemic began in the early 2000s. Several Mexican cartels have been smuggling drugs over the US/Mexico border through New Mexico for many years through the El Paso corridor. In 2017 alone, there were 468 kilograms (1,031 pounds) of cocaine, 447 kilograms of crystal meth (985 pounds), and 36,825 kilograms (81,185 pounds) of marijuana seized by Customs and Border Patrol agents at the border. Drug trafficking is mainly performed by the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels, while local drug distribution is performed by Bloods, Crips, Hells Angels, and MS-13 gangs on behalf of the cartels. While large amounts of heroin have not been seized by border agents, there is still a significant heroin and prescription opioid problem in New Mexico. The state is on 2 separate top 10 lists, one for most heroin overdose deaths (10th place) per capita, and another for most prescription opioid overdose deaths per capita (9th place). While the drug problems facing New Mexico are significant, there is still ample opportunity for someone to find help. New Mexico is home to many drug and alcohol detox centers that can help someone safely quit using drugs, and help them into further treatment and care once detox has been completed.
