Pandemia up world drug prices

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in a published report has said that border controls related to coronarys and flight shortages are making illegal drugs more expensive and difficult to buy around the world, including cocaine.

Pandemia is having a mixed effect on the production of drugs in different regions and smuggling into air, land and sea, but general tendency in countries where illegal drugs are consumed seems to be relatively uniform, UNODC said in the report for COVID-19, Reuters reports.

The report also notes that lack of gasoline is affecting price increases.

The cocaine production seems to be stumbling, as producers, particularly in Eastern Colombia, are suffering from a lack of gasoline, which had previously been smuggled from Venezuela's Bolivarian Republic and is essential to cocaine production,” she said, without stressing a link to COVID-19. ”
