Drugs are related to crime in multiple ways. Most directly, it is a crime to use, possess, manufacture, or distribute drugs classified as having a potential for abuse (such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and amphetamines). Drugs are also related to crime through the effects they have on the user's behavior and by generating violence and other illegal activity in connection with drug trafficking. 7, record 1, English, - drug%20trafficking

Les effets secondaires du narcotrafic - par exemple la violence qui va de pair avec la production, le trafic et la distribution de drogues illicites - peuvent causer la mort d'innocents.

Existen varias formas de producir cocaína; el proceso más frecuente consiste en producir pasta de coca a partir de las hojas, luego base de cocaína y finalmente clorhidrato de cocaína. Los cultivadores pueden comercializar la hoja de coca o procesarla hasta pasta de coca o base de cocaína. El último paso, es decir la transformación de base de coca en clorhidrato de cocaína, es realizado por laboratorios clandestinos y no por los cultivadores. 2, record 3, Spanish, - base%20de%20coca%C3%ADna
