Mexico’s cartel violence haunts civilians in the lead-up to June elections

According to the DEA’s national drug assessment, Colombia is the source of at least 97% of all cocaine consumed in the United States. Despite this fact, The DEA also claims that the production pattern is on the verge of changing.

In the report, the DEA claims that Mexican cartels are experimenting with crops of coca leaf in Mexico. The agency claims that if the cartels were to be successful they could take over the “Colombian” business.

In the chapter regarding drug trafficking trends in the report, the DEA suggests that Mexican cartels, especially the Jalisco Cartel, are looking to cultivate coca and produce their own cocaine from start to finish.

The Colombians still have their own distributors all over the world where they still would make plenty of profit.

Coca will not grow the same way in Mexico as it will in Peru for example. Its like comparing apples to oranges.

Thats true, but I remember Coca plants were cultivated in the Dutch East Indies (current Indonesia), so maybe in the south of Mexico they can do it.

In the last century, the Amsterdam-based Dutch Cocaine Factory (NCF) produced cocaine for medicinal purposes on a large scale and completely legally from coca plants grown in the Dutch East Indies. The factory also produced morphine, heroin and novocaine, among other things.

Cartels run parts of Mexico. Will its first female president do what it takes to stop them?

Historic elections indeed.
It will be Claudia Sheinbaum!

Sheinbaum's most famous reference to her Judaism was during a speech she made at a Jewish community event as mayor of Mexico City in 2018. She did not describe herself as Jewish but did say that both her parents were “of Jewish origin.” Like many Mexican Jews, she takes a secular approach to her faith.
