The drug trafficking is a serious and complex social
problem of the moderns communities. These illicit businesses generate 320,000
worldwide billion a year globally.
Colombia has had four of the more mighty groups of drug
trafficking of the world, that in
any cases it creates a new social class and
they influent greatly the Colombian culture.
Unfortunately, the country for its near location to great
markets and for the entrance to the two oceans, it offers unique advantages to
the organized delinquency related with the drugs. Also it has good ground and climate, a large
offer of hand of work and very enterprising and hard-working people.
The majority of small landowners in Colombia are displaced:
internal refugees, unemployed of the cities, small farmers or workers without
soil they has been push agricultural frontier by the concentration of the property
in other places of country. Colombia is the main supplier world of cocaine and
it produces at least 300 metric tons per year or 66% of total production. It produces
per year approximately 6 metrics tons of heroin. Currently here in Colombian grow
122.500 hectares of cocaine and 5000 hectares of cannabis. The grows, the
production and the illicit traffic give work to approximately 200.000 people
and they generate an annual income approximate to 2.200 millions of dollars. A of
the principals markets for the cocaine is EE.UU, while that the cannabis sell
specially in the domestic markets and Europeans.
This problem maybe will have end, now that while there
is consumers will have drug trafficking; some people says that the way unique
of finish with this situation is the legalization
of the drugs, of form any although the drug
trafficking bring wars and a lot of deaths this not is a viable solution a this
problem, pitifully the easy money is the motor of the delinquency and while
there is ambitious and to feel like of wealth will exist illicit activities
because while this actions doesn’t are of easy carrying out , it brings good
profits.
