Two decades later, the drug trafficking, in spite of the resources of the Plan
Colombia and to the capture of all the big bosses, is still alive though transforming the
current drug-traffickers last a little time in the top, since they are captured or died
rapidly. It is for this work and institutional offensive, in which we have possessed the
international help, that the drug traffickers of now have neither the same time nor power
or territorial control that those of several years ago. We they have impeded their
organizational capacity Of the fight against the big cartels the Colombian authorities
have gone on to a war against the micro traffic considered by the current Government as
one of three serious threats to the safety(security) of the country, together with the
guerrilla warfare and the bacrim. The Police have indicated that today 20 % of the
cocaine and 70 % of the produced marijuana are consumed internally. This wants to say
that approximately 60 tons of cocaine are distributed in the pots and expenditures of the
cities. And as for the marijuana it thinks that it comes 639 tons.
The controls of maritime interdiction, some of deep-sea them realized by American
noses, have done that the transport of the drug is increasingly risky for the drug
traffickers. This has caused, that these current, divided or by installments groups, they
devote themselves to increase the internal consumption in the country, as another front
of income.
This way that can conclude that Colombia has not left the drug trafficking, only that
has diminished the export of drug due to the fact that the safety(security) and control
has increased for this one
