Mexico Leads in the Production of Synthetic Drugs, Says Official

Mexico’s Dominance in Synthetic Drug Production

In a recent international meeting focused on combating drug trafficking, Mexico’s criminal investigation agency acknowledged Mexico’s significant role in the production of synthetic drugs, particularly fentanyl. This acknowledgment sheds light on the challenges posed by powerful Mexican cartels in the global fight against drug trafficking.

Production of Methamphetamine and Fentanyl

The head of Mexico’s criminal investigation agency, Felipe de Jesus Gallo, highlighted that Mexico has been a key player in the production of methamphetamine and fentanyl. These synthetic drugs have been a major source of wealth and power for Mexican criminal organizations.

Impact on the United States

According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Mexican cartels, with the help of chemicals primarily sourced from China, are the main suppliers of fentanyl entering the United States. This has led to a significant impact on the drug crisis in the US.

Collaborative Efforts

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has expressed a commitment to collaborate with the United States to address the issue of synthetic drug production. While there are efforts to downplay the extent of fentanyl production in Mexico, the need for joint action is evident.

International Cooperation

American officials visiting Mexico emphasized the importance of increased cooperation to combat the trafficking of synthetic drugs, which have contributed to a high number of overdose deaths in the United States. The global crisis of illicit synthetic drugs requires a comprehensive and agile approach to effectively tackle the issue.

Call for Action

Recognizing the rapid adaptation of criminal organizations, there is a pressing need for a more agile and coordinated approach to address the global supply of illicit drugs. Both the United States and Mexico are urged to work together to combat the challenges posed by synthetic drug production and trafficking.
