Mexico’s Domestic Drug Market

In Mexico, drug use is usually relegated to cheaper substances like crack and meth. This is not a surprise for developing nation with high levels of economic inequality. An article in the New York Times mentions that violent crime didn’t exist 15 years ago when the local market just had marijuana.

One positive is that Mexico is home to a growing industry of private rehab clinics. It is obvious that for this industry to really take off Mexico requires further development of its film industry.
