Don't ask me why but crack, meth and fentanyl are not a thing in Europe. It's completely marginal over there.

Meth in the US is mostly a US thing.  Made and sold here.  Other countries make it but it isn't exported as much as other drugs.

Crack is funneled from South America.  Well, at least the cocaine is.

Fentanyl is mainly from China and comes in through the western border (CA/Canada) and through Mexico.

Of course the US had a "war on drugs".

Here's a good read on it.  

And why a war on drugs?  Hint: It wasn't because of the drugs.
