Is Cocaine Still a Popular Drug Used in Texas?

No one wants to hear about drugs being used in their community, but we know that it happens, even here in Texas. Sure, there are law enforcement officers trying to stop illegal drug use but if people really want to do drugs, they will find a way to make it happen.  

It seems like cocaine is not one of the more popular drugs. It seems like the drugs always being talked about are meth and fentanyl.
