Drug corridor

A drug corridor is a commonly used drug trafficking route that allows for the flow of illicit drugs . The term is often used as a reference to common drug trafficking routes that often flow through major cities.[1] There are no definite drug corridors, but rather a series of connected networks which span across the globe. Drug corridors are reported to have a growing impact on drug use and associated crime along routes drug traffickers are known to travel.[2] One well known drug corridor in the Americas is the Trans-American Corridor.

Inhabitants of the lower Midwest and South, including Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Carolinas, generally dub their locations to be part of the main trans-American drug corridor, as well as those of the Southwestern U.S. states such as Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.[3] They claim that the major flow of drugs brought in from the Atlantic coast westward flows through their states and that they are in the main drug corridor.[4]
