During the 1980s, #Atlanta was a major hub for drug trafficking, particularly for organizations like the Black Mafia Family (#BMF), which operated multiple large-scale stash houses to store and distribute cocaine imported via cargo and vehicle transport. Drug busts in Atlanta and across the country were common during this “cocaine boom” era, and the city was one of many major urban centers where crack cocaine became widely available by the mid-1980s.
Major Drug Organizations: #TheBlackMafiaFamily (BMF) was a prominent drug trafficking organization that operated extensively in Atlanta during the 1980s, according to.
Distribution Networks: BMF, and other similar organizations, used a network of stash houses in the Atlanta area to receive and store large quantities of cocaine, which would then be sold and distributed to customers.
Smuggling Methods: Cocaine was brought into Atlanta in both large containers at the airport and via vehicles with secret compartments, arriving in quantities of 100–150 kilograms roughly every 10 days.
Crack Cocaine Availability: By the mid-1980s, crack cocaine, a more potent and cheaper form of the drug, had become available in Atlanta, contributing to a national increase in cocaine-related hospital emergencies and incidents, notes oh wait this is what motivated me 1978-1998 I know David Michael Ramsey @surfman374
