New York City is one of the most lucrative shipment and distribution centers in the United States, with nearly 30 million people packed into such a small area. Heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine, and ecstasy pose the most significant threat to New Yorkers. The majority of New York City's methamphetamine is supplied from the west coast via couriers, who fly to the west coast and pick up a concealable amount of a half pound to one kilogram of the drug, and then return to the city. Most of the marijuana consumed in New York is imported from Florida, Canada, or the southwestern United States.

Marijuana is as in many other states the most commonly used and most overlooked narcotic. Colombian distributors continue to supply New York's most prominent cocaine rings. Cocaine is available on the street and through "front" businesses such as bars and small grocery stores. Heroin is sold throughout New York in "dime bags" or tenth of a gram packages which are most frequently sold in "bundles" of ten equaling one gram for $100.

Drug use, dependence, and addiction is prevalent throughout the state of New York, and treatment options are readily available statewide (Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany have particularly high numbers of treatment options). New York City, with its high population density, does present a special case; the treatment options available in NYC alone rival the number of options available statewide in most other regions of the United States.
