It is common knowledge that most gang members use drugs recreationally, especially marijuana, ecstasy, PCP, speed, crack cocaine, and heroin. It is also commonly known that many gangs sell drugs. Delaney (2013) noted that the level of gang participation in the distribution of drugs remains unclear. Furthermore, although there is no evidence to suggest that gangs are responsible for shipping drugs into the country from foreign markets, it is true that many gangs are capable of creating their own drugs in methamphetamine labs and thus operate as distribution centers.

To receive full credit, include the gang’s involvement in the use, sale, and distribution of illegal drugs.
