Florida. Florida is known as the “Sunshine State.” And for good reason, it tends to always be sunny. Florida offers beaches, Disneyworld, Daytona Beach, Miami and so much more. There are multiple activities including fishing, surfing, snorkeling, and checking out the Florida Keys. But Florida has its issues. Florida was once known as the Pill Mill Capital because of its numerous clinics that offered pain killers to anyone with any kind of pain. This all came crashing to a halt when the DEA and FBI began to notice. But it was too late. It left many people with a painful painkiller addiction.

Pharmaceutical drugs, predominantly OxyContin and Xanax, are widely available in all areas of Florida and more recently heroin. And as for cocaine?

Local conversion of powder cocaine into crack makes it easily available in southwest and northern Florida. Heroin is readily obtainable in Florida, with the greatest concentrations in the central and southern parts. South American heroin is the predominant type found in Florida. However, Mexican black tar and brown powdered heroin are also available to a lesser extent.
