Marijuana use in North Dakota
Marijuana is the substance of abuse and the most readily available drug in the state. Treatment admissions to publicly funded programs for marijuana abuse almost doubled between 1994 and 1999. Marijuana availability also is rising throughout the state, leading to corresponding increases in investigations, seizures, and arrests. The majority of the marijuana seized in the state is cultivated in Mexico. Elevated potency marijuana also is produced locally, mainly in small quantities indoors. Canada-cultivated cannabis is available as well. Mexican criminal organizations transport multipound amounts of Mexico-produced marijuana through the southwestern states into North Dakota and distribute the drug at the wholesale level. Caucasian and Native American local independent dealers are the major retail distributors of Mexico-produced cannabis, while local producers distribute locally produced marijuana.
Marijuana is one of the main drugs of choice in the state. Distribution of cannabis is controlled by Mexico-based drug trafficking organizations that manage the transportation of the drug from Mexico to North Dakota. These groups use tractor-trailers-many of which have sophisticated traps installed-to transport the marijuana from the Southwest Border. DEA Fargo Resident Office investigations say that cannabis is increasingly available from local cultivators in addition to the supplies emanating from the Southwest Border. Local production of marijuana is relatively small extent. In 2002, DEA's Domestic Eradication/Suppression Program reported that a total of 3,880 marijuana plants were eradicated in the state. Ditch weed, originally grown for the hemp used to produce rope during World War II, is plentiful in the southeastern part of North Dakota. Last year more than three million ditch weed plants were eradicated.
