Drug trafficking refers to the illegal production and distribution of controlled substances, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, LSD, PCP, MDMA (ecstasy), methamphetamine, and others. There are many phases to the illegal drug business, with money exchanges involved in all of them. Drug trafficking has far-reaching effects into the society, including gang involvement. In the past, drugs such as marijuana and cocaine were among the heaviest used but now there is a growing market for "designer" drugs such as MDMA and amphetamines.
