Recent analysis of Venezuela’s drug policy has sparked debate. The “war on drugs” strategy, largely initiated by the United States, has been criticized as a potential imposition of political influence. Critics argue that the US leverages this approach to exert pressure on Latin American nations, potentially hindering local development and governance. The US government maintains that it seeks to combat drug trafficking while respecting the sovereignty of its partners. Data suggests a significant presence of illicit substances within Venezuela, a factor considered by some as a consequence of the program’s implementation. Further investigation is required to fully assess the long-term impact and effectiveness of these policies.
