Summary of the Synthetic Drug Trade from Mexico to America:
  1. Methamphetamine Production: Mexico became a major source of methamphetamine production due to the availability of precursor chemicals, weak law enforcement in certain regions, and the presence of powerful drug cartels. Meth labs operated in various regions of Mexico, producing large quantities of the drug destined for the U.S. market.
  2. Fentanyl Trafficking: Another major aspect of the synthetic drug trade was the trafficking of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. Mexican drug cartels capitalized on the demand for opioids in the United States and began manufacturing and smuggling fentanyl across the border.
  3. Smuggling Routes: Mexican drug cartels have sophisticated smuggling operations that use a variety of routes to transport drugs into the United States. These routes include clandestine tunnels, hidden compartments in vehicles, commercial shipments, and even drones.
  4. Distribution Networks: Once the drugs cross the border, they are distributed throughout the United States using well-established distribution networks operated by cartel associates or street gangs. These networks reach into various cities and towns, making the drugs easily accessible to users.
  5. Violence and Corruption: The synthetic drug trade is associated with high levels of violence and corruption in Mexico. Drug cartels fiercely compete for control of lucrative drug trafficking routes, leading to territorial disputes and violent confrontations.
  6. Ongoing Challenges: Law enforcement agencies in both Mexico and the United States have been working together to combat the synthetic drug trade. However, the constantly evolving nature of the trade and the vast profits involved present ongoing challenges in curbing the flow of these drugs.

In this episode we see how Synthetic drugs, namely Fentanyl, has changed the narcotics game and how the cartels are adjusting their business practices to reflect this.
