Cocaine is more popular than ever in the US and the Mexican drug lord Trump has declared war on is cashing in

https://ca.news.yahoo.com/cocaine-more-popular-ever-us-171341163.html?guccounter=1

Cocaine use is now more popular than ever in the U.S., with a major resurgence in recent years allowing the Mexican drug lord largely responsible for the boom to cash in.

Consumption of cocaine in the western U.S. has increased by 154 percent since 2019, according to data from drug-testing company Millennium Health. In the same period, use is up 19 percent on the East Coast.

At the same time, use of the deadly drug fentanyl has been declining ever since mid-2023, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Trump administration has vowed to crack down hard on cartels, even imposing harsh economic sanctions on Mexico to stymie the flow of fentanyl and other illicit products into the U.S.

A specific target for the administration is the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), which has been assessed to have the highest cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine trafficking capacity in Mexico and is led by Nemesio Rubén ‘El Mencho’ Oseguera Cervantes (United States Drug Enforcement Administration)

A main target has been the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) led by Nemesio Rubén “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, which is believed to have the highest cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine trafficking capacity in Mexico.

Sources familiar with the operations of CJNG told The Wall Street Journal that record amounts of cocaine are currently being produced in Colombia, driving the volume in the U.S. up and the price down.

Morgan Godvin, a researcher with the community organization Drug Checking Los Angeles, told the outlet that pure cocaine prices have “plummeted” to an average of $60 to $75 a gram, a decrease of around half compared with five years ago.

>This is legitimately the only price Trump has successfully lowered
Makes sense. Gotta keep Eric and Jr happy.
>>
>>1438830
Oseguera Cervantes benefited in recent years from America’s focus on the fentanyl epidemic, and the resulting capture of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in 2016, which created a power vacuum in the rival Sinaloa cartel.

In addition, Donald Trump’s intense campaign to arrest and deport migrants from the U.S. has taken multiple federal agents away from drug-traffic enforcement operations

>>1438832
And we all know that nobody in the Biden family uses cocaine.
>>
>>1438839
and we all know that the price of coke is going down under Trump because he is diverting resources.

>Consumption of cocaine in the western U.S. has increased by 154 percent since 2019
>from 2019 to present day this is Trump's fault
I feel like we're missing something. Wasn't there another president in between this time frame?
>>
>>1438842
Biden didn't take people away from drug enforcement positions. Amazing how we get a president willing to commit an international war crime by blowing up boats suspected of trafficking drugs, yet has done nothing about cocaine.

Didn't that just happen like two weeks ago? But tell you what, I'm really curious about the timeline they're using in this report. Can you do me a favor and download it, then post a link here? I would but they want you to give your name, address and a bunch of other shit I'm not giving before you can download the .pdf.
>>
>>1438849
He did it again like two days ago lol. JD Vance even joked "Well it's not safe to be a fisherman over there!" like this isn't the US doing an extrajudicial international killing.
>>
>>1438850
So not enough time for the data to be reflected in this report then?
>>
He is just paving the road for Big Pharma/government cocaine. Can't hold a monopoly when there is a large black market. Cocaine and meth are fine as they keep the workers working, at least until consequences of drug use catch up, but they don't care about the longterm effects on you, just the short term gain.
>>
>>1439228
No pot though, makes people lazy and thoughtful... we don't want you thinking for yourselves.

>>1438832
If he keeps fentanyl down thats a good trade. People gotta make money.

If the USA wanted to stop drugs, we could shoot fucks at the border, drone strike cartels, we could do it. The might of the US army may suck against rebels, but it is immense against a biz with products.

But people gotta make money, that's not a real option. By punishing fentanyl traffic, he can incentivize drug cartels to only make coke runs by letting them move coke semi-legally. Maybe a slap on the wrist but test it and let em go sometimes.

Who is 'we'? You have a mouse in your pocket?

Trump has lost a fortune, he can't afford Jr's habits anymorDad!

Fuck eggs, we need cheaper coke, dad!
>>
>>1439409
Eggs are like $2-3 now. It's amazing what ending terrible policies from Democrats can do.
Cocaine prices are probably up, and that's why Democrats are pissed about tighter immigration.
>>
>>1439424
Ah yes the democrat policy of "having an avian flu outbreak". Followed by the actual Trump policy of "freeze the CDC and FDA to extend the outbreak far longer than it needed to be".

Hey by the way, what happened the prices of literally everything else? Eggs are only "decreasing" in price because they had a massive spike due to the flu outbreak; we're still dealing with 10% inflation on them compared to before that happened.
>>
>>1439429
inflation has been slowly dropping all year.
>>
>>1439429
>we're still dealing with 10% inflation on them compared to before that happened.
Damn only 10%? Sounds like he beat the hell out of bidens 250% inflation on eggs or whatever it was
>>
>>1439429
Crazy how covid was 100% trump's fault despite being worldwide, but avian flu? 0% the dems' fault.
>>
>>1439462
How would you have handled avian flu differently?

You not having an answer is why COVID was Trump's fault and avian flu wasn't Biden's.
>>
>>1439457
>>1439462
Very hard difference between human flu and bird flu in terms of prevention. Human flu prevention is quarantine; for birds you have to cull and that affects the egg production. You either have to deal with sick birds that can't lay eggs, or no birds (who also naturally can't lay eggs).
>>
>>1439429
>Hey by the way, what happened the prices of literally everything else?
Up, but that was mostly Bidet and Democraps who managed to inflate everything substantially.
>>
>>1439486
Like this:
https://www.npr.org/2025/05/28/nx-s1-5414642/trump-vaccine-bird-flu-mrna
Which was literally to fire everyone dumbass in the CDC.
>>
>>1439493
>Bidet and Democraps
Why do you people talk like this?
>>
>>1439497
Because it's more interesting to type, and probably more interesting to read.
At least it caught your tenttention.
>>
>>1439503
I see MAGAs talking like that all the time and never comment on it. This is the exception. And it makes them sound really fucking stupid and childish, so it's not the kind of "tenttention" you want.
>>
>>1439507
It's mostly me on this board randomly popping in. Which means you're ridiculously obsessed with posting here, and you live in a bubble.
Maybe get out and see the Internet, shithead.
>>
>>1439512
>It's mostly me on this board randomly popping in.
No, it's not. It's not just this board, or even just 4chan, it's all over the place wherever MAGAs talk. They do it all the time, it's really prevalent.
>>
>>1439514
I mean to be fair, it does connect the dots between how shitty Democrats are.
But considering that leftist rhetoric has inspired a bunch of civil rest and terrorism over the past decade, it's probably better than inciting violence via lies and half-truths crafted to panic people.
Essentially, given the current political climate, I mean to say, "What an odd thing to take issue with."
>>
>>1439519
...what the fuck are you talking about?
Am I talking to a bot? Did you script break? What the hell is this?
>>
>>1439523
Do you even read, bro?
I said that it's odd to take issues with chiding language. It's a trifling thing compared to leftists literally inciting civil unrest, and further stated that's it's such an odd thing to take issue with.
>>
>>1439530
It's odd to chide those who point out the errors of those who don't understand English. It's as if having this called out triggers them.
>>
>>1439519
Are you bringing up the Boogaloo Riots out of nowhere again?
>>
>>1439534
Sounds racist as fuck, my guy. I don't know where you picked up this racist language, but you need to stop.
>>
>>1439232
Isn't pot already legal in most states though I thought?
What I really wish was legal was shrooms. Heard that story that Bill Burr told about it, and have wanted to try it ever since. But I'm too much of a straight-laced faggot to know where I could get it, since it's not legal.
>>
>>1439571
Still illegal in slave states.
>>
This kind of explains Trump's Scarface spiral into madness.

'Say hello to my little friend'
Stormy snickers then laughs uncontrollably... the money was good though.
>>
Price is going down because it's synthetic yayo and it's shit
