Rising sythetic drug meth production in El Chapo Guzman home turf
The northwest Mexican state of Sinaloa — where cartel boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was born and lived — has become a focal point of the country's growing production of synthetic drugs like methamphetamine.Parts of Sinaloa state, along with areas of Chihuahua and Durango states, make up Mexico's "Golden Triangle," an area so-named for intense marijuana and opium cultivation that also take place there.And the recent rise in synthetic-drug production indicates the continued expansion of Mexican criminal organizations' presence in the drug trade, likely driven by changing drug-consumption habits in the US.
