Cocaine is still the number one drug in terms of money. Heroin is more popular in Hollywood and with white suburban kids, but cocaine still dominates in the ghettos and there is more money to be made there selling drugs. The Mexicans and Colombians are making the most money selling drugs. What does that tell you?
Mulberry, Are you speaking in terms of what the OC groups are peddling or US drug consumption in general?
OC groups are peddling what the consumers are using. From the stats, cocaine is still number, and that is controlled by the Colombians and Mexicans at the wholesale level and other Latino and black groups at the street level. That is one of the reasons the Mafia lost control of drug trafficking. Opiods are getting more popular again, but most of it is coming from the southern border, west coast, or domestic. The old Sicily to NYC pipeline that dominated narcotics is gone forever.
