Drugs, Cocaina and Marijuana
Introduction
International scope: The dynamics of synthetic drugs in the international order presents characteristics that make it considerably different from that of drugs of natural origin, because while the latter are limited to basically three groups (coca derivatives, derived frompoppy and marijuana) synthetic drugs, emerging and new NSP psychoactive substances, have a wide variability of chemical groups and families.
Synthetic drugs have evolved to become a complex market characterized by a very high number of new substances that coexist with traditional. At present, the synthetic drug market offers an unprecedented variety of chemically diverse substances. According to the last drug report year 2018, nations in the world have reported the appearance of more than 800 types of drugs of synthetic origin, the above raises one of the most serious drug problems of public health in society.
Its field identification has meant a decisive mileas its precursors for its manufacture.
Developing
Over several years, the synthetic drug market has been transformed at an incredibly fast pace, which makes future prediction predict future events. This has questioned the knowledge of the synthetic drug market, which has gone from a relatively small number of substances structurally similar to a wide range, and increasing, of hundreds of structurally diverse substances, with results in results inpublic and lethal public health.
In Colombia, the situation has an increasing tendency, in the face of the issues of consumption, manufacturing, marketing, adulteration and falsification of psychoactive substances of synthetic origin, substances of psychedelic natural origin, drugs and medications with special regulation with special regulation.
In the last 11 years they have been detected by the authorities and alerted through the SAT -assigned early alert system to the Colombian drug observatory, 32 different types of substances, framed in inhale, fenestilamines, ethylone picnacins, doi, derived fromAmphetamine, benzofurans, catinones, synthetic cannabinoids and psychedelic natural origin (sage divinorum).
Situation that frames a care factor because these substances put at risk the health of the people who consume it with the aggravating thing that the majority according to chemical characterization studies carried out by the Government, establish adulteration, with cutting substances such as alkaloidsuch as caffeine, analgesic medications such as ketamine, veterinary products Levamisol, pharmacists such as guaifenesin among others.
NATIONAL SCOPE
In Colombia from the perspective of the National Police, there is a panorama focused on 6 elements of attention:
First element, local manufacturing: the manufacture of drugs of synthetic origin is born from importing from Europe and Asia the active substance of the psychoactive substance and being in Colombia entering legally via international mail, its manufacturing does not modify its base chemical line, they are addedMixtures to the original active substance to optimize yields and rustic crushing and compactor elements are used to prepare tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and impregnated papers.
Second element, adulteration: against adulteration, according to studies that accompanies in its realization the National Police with State Entities such as the Ministry of Justice and Law, Ministry of Health, Legal Medicine, Attorney General’s Office and international bodies such as nationsUnited, they determine adulterants found in synthetic drugs marketed and consumed in Colombia, they have adulterants classified as alkaloids (caffeine), analgesics (ketamine), drugs (Midozolam) and veterinary products (levamisol) among others, factor that turns on the alarmsOn public health and consumption guidelines.
Third element, national and transnational traffic: in Colombia in the last 5 years 810 has been seized.000 units of psychoactive substances of synthetic origin, detected more than 130 cases to 19 different countries (Chile, United States, Panama, Mexico, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Peru, Bolivia, Canada, Spain, Paraguay, Australia, Japan, Honduras, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Argentina, Kosovo) and entering our air terminals 3 cases with more than 30.000 units from countries such as Belgium, Holland and Spain, a situation that determines a challenge with more atomized criminal edges and more complex and dangerous concealment methods against the management of the biosecurity of this type of substance.
Fourth element, consumption and marketing: According to the latest National Study for Psychoactive Substances consumption in school population carried out in 2016, but published in 2018 in Colombia, it establishes that there is a systematic and significant increase in the consumption of substances of synthetic originAnd medications, the most consumed substances are inhalable (Popper, Dec and solvents), LSD, ecstasy, tranquilizers (rivotril, roche, rophynol, xanax, valium, etc.).
However, from the Early SAT alert system of the Colombian Drug Observatory, A-PVP, 2C-E, MITP, Salvia Divinorum, Butylon, Dimetilone, Dibutilone, 6-APB, 4-APB, AMB-Fubinaca, Alliescalina, among others), which have launched official alerts to the world from the world from theOfficial diplomatic lines.
The commercialization of this type of substances is being carried out in school, university environments, festivals, private parties, bars and clubs, using criminal marketing through social networks, Depweb, address and paid through cryptocurrency transactions.
Fifth element, prediction to possible production of synthetic drugs: the manufacture of synthetic drugs, unlike the production of heroin and cocaine, is not geographically limited, since the process does not involve the extraction of active ingredients of plants that must be cultivated in certainConditions for them to grow, this joins the growing high of this problem of atomization, establishes as a risk for Colombia, that the manufacturing factor becomes production, a situation currently living countries such as Guatemala, Mexico and the United States.
conclusion
Sixth element, catastrophic against opioids: the opioid market is diversifying, which is illustrated with the example of the United States, where this market covers a combination of substances under international control, in particular heroin, and medications ofSale with medical prescription that deviate from the legitimate market or are produced as large -scale counterfeit medications.
These counterfeit medications are made so that they look like pharmaceutical products, but in reality they contain fentanyl and analogues of this, as well as non -opioid substances, for example, derived from benzodiazepine and methylphenidate. Situation that can reach Colombia from the drug diversion factor with active opioid ingredients or the importation of the substance to manufacture it.
