Wisconsin is known for being home of the Green Bay Packers. Wisconsin is abundant in mile and cheese and also has over 14,000 lakes. Also, Milwaukee, Wisconsin is famous for it beer breweries. It is sad to say, though, that the state of Wisconsin has not been able to escape the drug and alcohol problem that so many of the other states face.

There are many people who abuse and/or distribute crack and powder cocaine in Wisconsin, especially in the eastern and central areas. High-purity heroin is becoming more prevalent, and more people in the Milwaukee area are beginning to develop heroin addictions. However, marijuana is the most widely-available and commonly abused drug in the state. Methamphetamine is becoming more common in Wisconsin. Methamphetamine labs in Minnesota and Iowa are expanding their production into certain areas of Wisconsin. Drug transportation and distribution in the state can be pinned on three different groups. Mexican drug trafficking organizations are responsible for transporting cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine. Southeast Asian heroin is brought into the state by Nigerian criminal groups, and cocaine and South American heroin is controlled by Dominican criminal groups.

Well-known and well organized African-American and Hispanic street gangs are behind almost 100 percent of the drugs sold on the streets, especially crack cocaine. Some of these gangs include the Gangster Disciples, Latin Kings, and the Vice Lords. Cocaine and crack are transported from the Southwest border through big cities into Wisconsin. The drugs are concealed in shipments of legal goods or trailers and then made available to almost all residents of Wisconsin. According to the DEA, cocaine can be purchased in multi-kilogram amounts in Milwaukee and Madison, and in multi-ounce to kilogram amounts in Green Bay. The DEA also reported that in a recent investigation, 2.3 kilograms of Southwest Asian heroin. There has never been a larger amount of heroin seized in Wisconsin prior to this. Many Nigerian drug group members were arrested because of this seizure.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office records state that in the past few years, the number of people abusing heroin has not increased or decreased. Heroin abuse occurs most often in Milwaukee and Racine. Heroin as high as 95 percent pure is becoming more common in Wisconsin. Since high-purity level heroin can be snorted instead of injected, the drug is becoming more appealing to teens. The number of young people experimenting with the drug is going up.

The DEA also states the levels of methamphetamine abuse in Wisconsin has remained stable. There is a limited amount of the drug throughout the state, and is almost completely unavailable in Green Bay. The majority of methamphetamine available in Wisconsin is produced in local labs. Some of the meth is imported from Minneapolis in ounce quantities. Although, recently there was 37 pounds of methamphetamine seized in Green Bay. The drugs were owned by people who lived out of state and were trying to create a methamphetamine market in the area.
