With the rise of dangerous drugs like methamphetamines comes a rise in drug labs producing illegal substances. The Drug Enforcement Administration conducts raids on these labs to try to root out the problem. Raiding a drug lab can help cut off circulation of drugs at the source. Fewer drugs made means fewer drugs on the streets, which helps lower drug-related crimes and overdose deaths. While illegal drugs are a problem nationwide, the team at Joslyn Family Law shows us exactly which cities are at the heart of the drug lab problem.
The following ten cities had the highest number of drug lab raids:
- Kalamazoo, MI
- Akron, OH
- Milton, FL
- Houston, TX
- Port Huron, MI
- Jackson, MI
- Christianburg, VA
- Flint, MI
- Battle Creek, MI
- Rockingham, NC
Do you notice any common characteristics of these cities? Many of these places like Michigan and Ohio have a long history of combating drug crimes and there are unique aspects of their geography that make them a hotbed for drug labs.
