(U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency)
Highlights
- U.S. overdose deaths have risen as methamphetamine produced by Mexican cartels is plentiful, cheap and pure.
- Like other drugs produced or smuggled by cartels, U.S. demand is the primary factor driving the methamphetamine trade.
- The "Balkanization" of Mexican cartels, all of which produce methamphetamine, has increased competition among wholesale sellers, driving down prices in the United States.
