National Drug Trafficking

National drug trafficking refers to the illegal production, transportation, and sale of controlled substances within a country’s borders. This involves organized groups that smuggle drugs to meet domestic demand, often leading to significant societal issues such as addiction, crime, and violence. Governments combat drug trafficking through law enforcement efforts, policies, and international cooperation, aiming to reduce drug availability and its associated harms. The impact of drug trafficking can affect public health, safety, and the economy, prompting ongoing debates about drug policy, prevention, and treatment strategies.
