Abstract:

The cocaine business is thriving in the Triangle area. Looking at the problem from all angles, law enforcement, ex-dealers, and addicts weigh in on what is driving the surge. Money is the primary reason for the increase in cocaine trafficking as the Triangle grows in size. Law enforcement is doing better catching dealers, but more drugs and dealers keep arriving as profits grow.
