Question by Jerremy Fisher: How do drugs get to the streets of America?
I am doing a Criminal Justice project and I need some help. I need to know where drugs come from, how do they get on the streets of the US. I have a general idea but I need a source for this information, Are there any studies?

Calling the US “America” is very arrogant and disrespectful to the other countries on the American continent. There are many ways drugs reach the US: some, like cannabis, is grown (either indoors or under some other crop like maize). Some (like cocaine) is dropped by plane. Some is smuggled by boat or in the stomachs of immigrants crossing the border. And some comes all the way from Asia (usually hidden in luggage)
