The Colima Cartel is believed to obtain large quantities of the precursor ephedrine through contacts in Thailand and India, and then it is distributed to different methamphetamine labs in Mexico and the United States.
The Colima cartel has become a branch of the Sinaloa Cartel as are the Milenio Cartel, Guadalajara Cartel, and Sonora Cartels.
