Methamphetamine overview in New hampshire
Methamphetamine is not considered a major threat in the state of New Hampshire. However, availability and abuse appear to be rising. Mexican DTOs are the main transporters and wholesale dealers of mostof the meth available in the state of New Hampshire. They ship it from the city of San Diego, California, and the Southwest Border area using express mail services. OMGs and independent distributors, usually Caucasians, distribute the drug at the retail level throughout New Hampshire.
Meth treatment admissions per 100,000 citizens (2003): 1
New Hampshire has experienced a continued increase in methamphetamine abuse in recent years, even though it currently has one of the lowest rates of meth treatment admissions per capita in the country. During 2004, only 30 residents sought treatment for meth addiction, or approximately 0.5% of all individuals seeking drug abuse treatment, in comparison to 742 individuals seeking treatment for heroin. This is a diminution from 2002, when 76 individuals sought treatment for meth abuse, but a steady raise from the 1990s when meth admissions were still in the single digits. Presently, most of the meth in circulation in New Hampshire is manufactured in Mexico, and only seven clandestine labs have been seized in the state within the past five years.
