Drug Trafficking

Drug trafficking refers to the illegal trade of controlled substances and illicit drugs. This involves the production, distribution, and sale of drugs that are prohibited by law or regulated due to their potential for abuse and addiction. Drug trafficking encompasses a wide range of activities, including the manufacturing of drugs, smuggling them across borders, and selling them within various markets, often through organized crime networks. It is a serious criminal offense in many jurisdictions and is associated with significant legal penalties. Drug trafficking has profound social and economic impacts, contributing to violence, corruption, and public health crises in affected communities.
