Gulf Drug Cartel
Over the past few years Atlanta suburbs have become the home to the largest Mexican Drug Cartel in the U.S. for illegal drug distribution. Because of the close proximity of Atlanta to major interstate connections it is easy for these “terrorist” to set up drug distribution centers which enable their drug trafficking efforts to reach other major cities throughout the country.
Among the major cities in the United States, Atlanta is the city which brings the most money with an estimated profit of $70 million dollars in drug trafficking in 2008 alone. Atlanta is home to two major Mexican drug cartels, the Gulf and Sinaloa. Recently, the Gulf drug cartel and the Los Zetas were in a major dispute over territorial rights of drug trafficking along the Gulf Coast where a plot to blow up the Falcon Dam along the Rio Grande was thwarted.
The drugs that are being trafficked into Atlanta are; marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. These drugs are then re-distributed to border states; Alabama, Tennessee, Carolinas, which then work their way to the mid-Atlantic states and New England states.
“The drug related violence in Atlanta has not yet spilled into the streets with the same intensity as in Mexico, but the authorities maintain it might be just a matter of time. Most recently, the Drug Enforcement Agency found a man in a basement of a Lilburn house, chained and handcuffed, starved and beaten, because he owed $300,000 to a Mexican drug lord.”
The efforts of these drug cartels can only be combated through drug addicts and families educating themselves on the severity of drug addiction and receiving the rehabilitative services of addiction treatment centers throughout Tennessee and Georgia.
