InSight Crime is pleased to announce the launch of our latest investigation, “The End of (Illegal) Marijuana: What It Means for Criminal Dynamics in Mexico.”
Dear Subscriber,
Our team traveled to the heart of Mexico’s drug trade to investigate how marijuana legalization in a growing number of US states has impacted organized crime dynamics across the border.
Faced with decreased demand and prices at rock bottom, Mexican drug trafficking groups have shifted their focus to synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl. This has upended their longstanding relationship with the small farming communities that once cultivated cannabis.
We invite you to explore the full investigation, available on our website.
We want to continue exposing
criminals in Latin America
An investigation such as this one requires time and resources. We want
to continue contributing to the debate on organized crime across the continent
and for our content to remain free for the general public to access. For this,
we need your support.
