Sinaloa is the drug lord of Mexico and the cradle of the biggest trafficker
Mexico has ever known
Sinaloa’s first narcotic crop was opium. Large scale production start until the
1940’s when the opium supply for its soldiers in the US military was disrupted
by war. Edward Heath, former Country Attaché for the Drug Enforcement
Agency in Mexico said. “we were concerned that our supply of opium or
morphine would be cut off because the world war. So we needed a supply close
by, but, that was one of those black box things. Who knows when it happenes,
who did it, and why”.
With the defeat of japan, the need for opium was no longer there, however, a
thriving industry was created.
1980’s Sinaloa tuned from marijuana and heroin to cocaine. Colombia’s drug
traffickers were having problems smuggling their cocaine directly to the U.S.
and began looking for alternatives.
2008 the safety and security worsened due to the division within the Sinaloa
ederation wich encompasses the dru cartels of “El chapo” Guzman and the
Beltral Leyva brothers
