‘A lot of blood is spilt over this.’ Narco State: Inside Mexico’s Drug Cartels, man in mask, Sky 2015
Mexico’s curse stretches nearly 2,000 miles. Its huge rich neighbour the United States of America is the world’s largest consumer of illegal drugs. Beyond this border that insatiable appetite needs a supplier. Mexico has been that supplier for more than a hundred years. ibid.
This is the most dangerous part of the operation; the fumes coming off there are extremely toxic. They are also very explosive. ibid.
The purity of Mexican Crystal Meth is what makes it so different to Meth made in the United States. It means its value soars. ibid.
Crystal Meth has emerged as a lucrative business for the cartels. They franchise out its production to small gangs then gathered in and exported. ibid.
This one lab is making £12 million a year and it’s a medium-sized operation. ibid.
Anyone cooking or handling Meth is putting themselves at risk. They spray acetone in the powder to stop it turning into dust. ibid.
Tens of thousands have died in the Narco Wars, thousands have disappeared. ibid.
