Drug trafficking is the illegal trade of controlled substances, such as cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. This activity involves the production, distribution, and sale of these drugs, often organized by criminal groups. Traffickers exploit various routes and methods to smuggle drugs across borders, putting communities at risk and contributing to violence and crime.
The impact of drug trafficking extends beyond just the illegal market. It affects public health, as addiction rates rise and healthcare systems become overwhelmed. Governments and law enforcement agencies work together to combat this issue, implementing strategies to reduce the supply and demand for illegal drugs while promoting education and prevention efforts.
