Mohawk reservation used for marijuana and ecstasy smuggling
Posted: Thursday, September 29, 2011
The St.
Regis Mohawk Reservation in New York is a hotbed of drug smuggling activity, according to the Department of Justice.
As much as 20 percent of the high-potency marijuana grown in Canada comes through the reservation, the National Drug Intelligence
Center said in the National Drug Threat Assessment 2010.
The report also said "multithousand- tablet quantities" of ecstasy and "multikilogram quantities" of cocaine cross the reservation.
The National Drug Threat Assessment 2011 repeated the concerns about the reservation. However, this year's report wasn't as detailed, mentioning only "large quantities" of marijuana and ecstasy.
