The amount of methamphetamine being seized within the state of South Dakota is rising each year, but that also means that a lot of methamphetamine is getting away and is becoming accessible to users. This is definitely a disagreeable state of affairs, because methamphetamine is a highly addictive drug that needs to be quickly and strictly prohibited from the state completely.

The main source of methamphetamine in South Dakota is trafficking from the neighboring and nearby states. South Dakota gets its supply of the drug from the Sioux City of Iowa, and from other states such as Arizona, California, Colorado and Texas. Also notable is the extent of trafficking that is happening from various parts of Mexico. In fact, the most popular form of methamphetamine present within the state is Mexican methamphetamine in the powder form. Apart from Mexico, other regions from where such powder methamphetamine is sourced into the state include Denver, Phoenix, San Diego and San Francisco.

In addition, there are various toxic meth labs set up within various areas of the state that are producing a purer form of methamphetamine known as crystal meth. Crystal meth is definitely a big contributor in the entire situation of methamphetamine addiction in South Dakota.

In the last few years, patrolling has been beefed up immensely along various inlet routes into the state. Also, there has been a lot of crackdown on these clandestinely operating meth labs. These aggressive methods have helped in bringing down the instances of meth and crystal meth addiction in South Dakota.
