Marijuana use in New York
Marijuana is the most widely available and commonly used illicit drug in New York. Most of the cannabis available in the state is produced in other states or in Mexico, Jamaica, and Canada; however, marijuana produced in New York also is available. Mexican and Jamaican criminal organizations transport marijuana from southwestern states into New York generally using trucks, private vehicles, and package delivery services. Colombian DTOs and criminal groups and Jamaican criminal organizations, among others, usually use the same methods to transport marijuana north from Florida into New York and often use couriers or cargo shipments on commercial airlines to transport marijuana from overseas. Jamaican criminal groups are the most prominent wholesale, midlevel, and retail distributors of cannabis in New York; nonetheless, no specific organization or group controls the distribution of marijuana. Marijuana is usually sold at open-air markets and from apartments. Some law enforcement reporting demonstrates that Jamaican criminal groups sell marijuana from smoke shops (tobacco shops), bodegas (small grocery stores), and other small businesses, although distribution at these locations happens at a significantly lower rate and is less overt than in the past.
The majority of the marijuana entering the New York City region, and some upstate regions, appears to be arriving via air freight or auto/truck transport from Florida or the southwestern United States. Significant quantities also arrive via commercial overnight package services. Upstate areas receive cannabis from the Southwestern United States, and there are continuous reports of local indoor grow operations. Canada is also a source for an important quantity of marijuana entering New York State, especially indoor grow marijuana.
