The regional market’s demand for Colombian-produced marijuana, particularly the high-THC strain known as “creepy,” is fueling the significant seizures in Venezuela. The nation is a convenient transit point between Colombia and numerous other regional markets. The fact that Venezuela has a history of being a drug corridor plays to the advantage of marijuana traffickers. It is a known route for transnational cocaine trafficking, and the involvement of top political and military figures in drug trafficking protects those looking to export drugs overseas.
