NOTE: Sorry, I finally gave up on getting a graph/map in here!
Mexico City: In January 2017, this Capitol City's Public Security Minister released a census with the number of places for the sale and distribution of drugs and illicit substances : 20, 000.
The "Narcomenudeo" or retail daily drug sales has grown exponentially during the past three years and although the authorities know of the problem, they have basically ignored it, nor have they sized it up. In 2015 the Ministry of Public Security (SSP) was aware of 13,000 points and /or places of sales of narcotics.
The sale of narcotics now takes place on soccer fields, parks, recreational areas, neighborhoods, grocery stores, "ambulatory sales ", taco stands, convenience stores, garages, alley-ways, in front of police stations and across from schools. As a matter of fact; the statistics show that there is at least one "Tiendita/Puesta", ie, point of sale of marijuana and other illicit drugs for every two two schools in Mexico City.

| Prices Clearly Marked |
They are also showing up on WhatsApp, a smart phone/computer app especially popular with Mexicans and Latinos.
 |
| Sales take place right under the noses of the Police |
There are area demarcations such as Milpa Alta, Magdalena Contreras, Xochimilco, Tlalpan, and Tlahuac, neighborhoods that have customs and practices, where the actual sales and consumption of
drugs used to be less; however, the latest statistics show that use by young people at secondary school level is on the increase, more on par with other neighborhoods where drug use is popular, thus raising the number of "tienditas" or selling locations of illicit substances. Your basic supply and demand routine.

The report emphasizes that areas bordering the actual city limits is where the increase in retail sales has been shown, as well as in the delegations in Mexico City's center of the Capitol of the country. Delegation Gustavo A. Madero tops the list; where in most Colonias or neighborhoods marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth and psychoactive drugs in pill form can be readily purchased.
Next is Iztapalapa, where where cocaine and the psychoactive substances have greater demand; which presents yet another problem : Consumption of these drugs begins as early as 13 years of age.
Cuahtemoc, in La Zona Rosa area, the Roma-Condesa corridor , El Centro and Tepito are where most of the points of sale have been documented: here in the street anyone can get anything.
This "drug corridor" begins here and extends to Venustiano Carranza, Miguel Hidalgo, Alvaro Obregon, Azcapotzalco, and Coyoacan, which worries authorities, because 24/7 especially cocaine and crystal meth are being consumed, leaving smoking marijuana, ( mota, a joint) in the dust: leading to the escalation in violence, reflected in the statistics in the same corridor by the number of criminal homicides (and may I add: femicides).
Ixtapalapa, governed by "delegate Ricardo monreal avila, former municipal president of fresnillo zac, governor of the state, federal senator and federal congressman, is HIS responsibility, the rest is their delegates, of cojrse, there must be a Whole Lotta Money going on, how come the points of sales are allowed to thrive?
ReplyDeleteWell, they paid their mordidas, let's not blame high school students
Im pretty sure Ricardo Monreal is the "Delegate" of Cuahutemoc not Iztapalapa.
Delete3:13 looks like you are right, and seems like el jefe zeta ricardo monreal avila is exchanging smiles and embraces with EL PAN or anybody that offers him a bigger bone than delegation cuauhtemoc, after AMLO gave dedazo to some other woman, but mister Chaplin Monreal says he is not going anywhere, I guess he can catch his bread crumbs and leftovers from anybody anywhere, as long as his secretaria is there "to grab her like the other day"
DeleteNice..just like buying corn with the mayo parmesan chili powder and butter :)
ReplyDeleteNo heroin or chiva? Pff no classy drugs i see just nasty stimulant addicts. They need to ride the white tiger and get high with quality.
ReplyDeleteYeah heroin is classy lol.
Delete3:08 everything is classy when you have money, or while you have credit cards, it usually goes down hill quick.
DeleteThere are LOTS of before and after people in drugs google them for free.
@ 11:12am ive seen/heard zero heroin or references or availability of it (here in delegacion G.A.M OR cuahtemoc/zona rosa...& i knowbetter than to go into tepito alone so cant say much for that area) however if its here or rather wherever it is, its not likely to be "the white tiger" but rather the "goat shit" i.e.; mexican tar. But thats just my perspective :-)
DeleteCan only imagine the impact Mexico is facing.
ReplyDeleteTo think that Mexico once embraced moral and religious values. Snubbing American society of its lack of values ( in a respectable way).
Now the same moral and ethics concerns are being imposed to Mexican society.
Times have changed indeed.
This drug epidemic has taken a hold anywhere it finds a foothold.
It's bad business!

Eforrtytooth mexicans always been like that, now its just at a bigger scale, notice how they carry their crossifix to later stab you on the back?
Delete12:24 and 3:35 demonizing the mexicans much lately?
DeleteRemember "Our Man In Mexico" Win Scott, corrupting the presidents and their cabinet members selecting his most favored ones to become His Litempos and creating the DFS to fight communism at all levels from inside, even created the mexican communistas to fight and have something to show for the money his masters paid him and spent on his crazy schemes.
They were the precursors of drug trafficking in mexico, they grandfathered all the current cartel capos and wannabes, in their quest to preserve american Exceptionalism and america for the americans, the mexicans never gave a shit about something we had no idea, we did not have ambassadors or spies corrupting the US, just as we did not go to Europe to colonize spain or germany or france, it is always the developed and well cultured and educated countries that come and fack around, mexicans did not import mexican weapons into the US, because "mexicans are not really the ones who are, like that"
@1:48 am. Would not call my comments as a reference to an exorcism requirement. Rather stating a fact pertaining to a drug epidemic which many are faced with. A continuous battle where devastation and destruction seems inevitable .
DeleteNothing more.

4:38 demonizing in this case has nothing to do with exorcisms, and it has everything to do with dirty politics, you are welcome, we have been finding some points where we agree, you will get better, let's work on it.
Delete@12:58
DeleteGlad we can find constructive criticism here.
And common ground.

Puro meth por un peiso, or 5 peisos de la fina.
ReplyDeletepa aguantar las chingas de Doble turno por 4 dolares al dia mis locas.
Heroin cocaine or crack are for richer lazy maderfackers, junior's y pirujas güebonas que no sacan ni pa tacones.
La chiva te quita el dolor y puedes trabajar sin sentir NADA por algo los tecatos pueden tener un trabajo "legal" mientras los piedrosos o tweakers terminan buscando droga en la basura hahah. el cristal después de 4 días sin dormir no vas a poder continuar trabajando.
DeleteDisfruta tus neurotoxinas y daño cerebral que causa el cristal .
Crystal ya no me hace nada solo me la paso un pura puneta.
DeleteLa Chiva me quita el sueño, pero no dejo de soñar con ella,
DeleteHeroin makes people sleepy and gives them the runs, if lucky you get a real good dose and never come back for more, meth is where it's at, if you wanna work full steam 2 shifts every day to make ends meet and make 8 to 10 dollars A DAY.
La Chiva me da dolores, to think we'll never meet...
DeleteHi amá! no te me olvidas, prieta color de llanta.
Best wishes always.
Good job EPN! This was going to happen anyway. There is no way, moving all that dope, that the people aren't going to develop a taste for it eventually.
ReplyDeleteWhat are "tachas?"
ReplyDeletePills.
DeleteCheap ecstacy pills.
Deleteextasy...tacy = tachas
DeleteBetter than all the rest plus you can't continually use it. The tolerance builds up fast and sooner than later, you can't get high anymore.
DeleteThe Mexicans have always blamed the United States for the drug problem. Basically they were providing a product to meet the demands. I just wonder if the demand for drugs has surpassed the US demand or is it a different kind of drug being pushed in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteNot close to surpassing.
DeleteGreat question?
DeleteAny statistics regarding consumption?
Wondering if the government actually has conducted such? Given the lack of attention to its citizens!
E42
7:39 Looki here puto, the gandallas in charge hate to pay good money out, and have been paying in product the mexican grameros have to eat or sell, that is the reason sales have increased in mexico, the consumption is forced upon many peoplease by peer pressure or violence threats, everybody is paying in species, the US money launderers get more money to launder that way, but we can't blame all the american people for all the dirty little secrets hidden with their dirty laundry, courtesy of those who have hijacked the US government, the American Military Industrial Complex IKE warned the US about in his Farewell Speech
DeleteThe mexican government will not study the problem or throw a y money at it, they need more money to steal and deposit in US banks, or somewhere else offshore and safe.
Deletesocial media and drugs are the downfall of many in western society
ReplyDelete5:29 you make the case for the devil, blaming "social media" but I disagree, thanks to SOCIAL MEDIA we are getting wise to dirty people and their dirty deeds,
Deleteand outing "Liars and the Dirty Lies They Tell"
