ANSWER:

Most of the drugs that are sold in the US come to the US from ports and border patrol checkpoints.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • These drugs come from Mexico, South and Central America. Mexico serves as a major transit point for the drugs to enter US.
  • Heroin, cocaine, marijuana and some painkillers are in great demand in the US. The US gets its drugs from drug gangs that operate in different regions.
  • A lot of drugs are trafficked into the US. These drugs enter the US illegally through official ports.

Most of the drugs that enter the U.S. come from Central and South America. Despite the wars between cartels, most shipments make it through Mexico to the U.S. border. 95 percent of American cocaine imports are brought by Mexican cartels through Mexico and Central America.
