Show Notes
Cuba grapples with a burgeoning drug crisis, fueled by the proliferation of cheap synthetic drugs like químico. The countrys economic struggles and easy access to smuggled drugs, primarily from the US, have led to a sharp increase in drug use, particularly among young people in cities like Havana. The surge in drug use has resulted in a nearly doubling of emergency room visits for drug-related issues. In response, Cuba has established a National Drug Observatory and implemented strict penalties for traffickers. Despite the challenges, the countrys free healthcare system offers hope for recovery and a chance to rebuild lives.
