By Nick Miroff. 2017/03/04--https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/cocaine-makes-comeback-as-supply- drives-demand/article_c52b3eee-8dc6-5e28-9eb2-42f9865a7f16.html Excerpt: Most of the Colombian cocaine is smuggled through Mexico by the country’s powerful drug cartels. Although President Donald Trump has touted his plans for a wall along the Mexico border as a solution to the problem, narcotics agents say high-value, low-volume drugs such as cocaine are rarely brought into the country by couriers sneaking through the desert or wading across the Rio Grande. Instead, the drugs are typically smuggled in high-powered speedboats, in vehicles with hidden compartments that cross the border at legal ports of entry, or by people carrying them in their abdominal cavities. 2017/03/04--https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/cocaine-makes-comeback-as-supply- drives-demand/article_c52b3eee-8dc6-5e28-9eb2-42f9865a7f16.html Santa Fe Reporter 2019/08/05 [Reform] City Drug Strategy Could Lead the Nation: Santa Fe considers a municipal drug strategy based on harm reduction, treatment, and prevention. By Leah Cantor https://www.sfreporter.com/news/2019/08/05/city-drug-strategy-could-lead-the-nation/ Excerpt: or over a year, Santa Fe's Municipal Drug Strategy Task Force has been busy collecting information to help the city come up with a new vision for tackling a legacy of high drug abuse and overdose rates. Policies that criminalize drug use have failed to curb the intergenerational harms experienced by communities and families in the grip of addiction. So instead of perpetuating a failing system, the task force is crafting a plan for the city with policy recommendations founded on evidence-based principles of harm reduction and prevention. Santa Fe is only the second city in the United States to consider adopting this kind of municipal drug strategy, but similar strategies have been implemented in cities across Europe in recent decades with tremendous success. "I think it's really important that we recognize that local government has a role when it comes to drug and alcohol use. We don't have to wait for the state, we don't have to wait for the federal government for these resources and ideas to trickle down," Emily Kaltenbach, the task force chair, tells SFR by phone. https://www.sfreporter.com/news/2019/08/05/city-drug-strategy-could-lead-the-nation/ Seattle Times 2019/01/09 [Santa Fe/Crack Cocaine] Santa Fe man facing charges in drug trafficking case. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/santa-fe-man-facing-charges-in-drug-trafficking-case/ A Santa Fe man is being accused of leading a drug trafficking ring that distributed crack cocaine in northern New Mexico.
