Powder cocaine biggest threat to Washington state

Powder cocaine is the greatest illicit drug threat to Washington state, according to the 2009 Northwest HIDTA Threat Assessment Survey. Use and addictions are widespread throughout the region. Cocaine distribution and use contribute to a litany of other criminal activities. According to law enforcement officials in the state of Washington, powder cocaine contributes most to violent crime, followed in order by heroin and methamphetamine.
