Kentucky is a primary source of domestically grown marijuana, the majority of which is produced in southeastern Kentucky. The abuse and illegal use of prescription drugs, particularly hydrocodone and oxycodone, remain one of, if not the, largest drug problem in southeastern Kentucky. The availability of illegal pain meds in central and northern Kentucky remains at a high level.

        Cocaine is readily available in central and southeastern Kentucky. Gram quantities continue to sell for $100, but ounce quantities increased from the $700-$1,200 range to the $900-$1,200 range, and kilogram quantities increased from the $16,000-$28,000 range to the $23,000-$26,000 range. Cocaine purity levels are consistently 40 to 90 percent. The largest suppliers of ecstasy are middle-class Caucasian males from 25 to 35 years of age operating in a well-organized manner. ecstasy is transported via U.S. Mail from Miami, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Ketamine is also distributed in nightclubs and bars. Steroids are obtained from mail order companies, doctors, veterinary supply companies, and workout facilities. In 2007, a total of 64,869 marijuana plants were eradicated from National Forest land in Kentucky. National Forest lands suffer from the collateral effects of marijuana cultivation, which includes property damage to natural resources, archeological sites, and wildlife, including endangered species.
