Authorities seized 20 pounds of methamphetamine, a half pound of cocaine and 6 pounds of marijuana during a 10-month investigation into the "Lenox Park Cartel."
More samples of methamphetamine were tested by Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab than the next five drugs on the list combined, according to a study of the first five months of 2018. For Hall County, the top three drugs tested by the GBI lab so far in 2018 are marijuana with 10 instances, methamphetamine with nine instances and one instance of “spice,” a type of synthetic marijuana.
