哥伦比亚的可卡因生产激增,加上政策变化的推动,淹没了美国市场,导致使用量上升和剂量过量致死。 Colombia's cocaine production surge, fueled by policy changes, has flooded U.S. markets, driving up use and overdose deaths.

哥伦比亚的可卡因生产创纪录地猛增,其驱动力是政策转变,包括空中熏蒸的结束、2016年与哥伦比亚革命武装力量的和平协议以及有缺陷的作物替代方案,自2015年以来古柯种植量增加了两倍。 A record-breaking surge in cocaine production in Colombia, driven by policy shifts including the end of aerial fumigation, the 2016 peace deal with FARC, and a flawed crop substitution program, has led to a tripling of coca cultivation since 2015. 这一增长使美国市场充斥着可卡因、降低价格和刺激更高的需求,特别是因为新用户更有可能继续使用这种药物。 This increase has flooded U.S. markets with cocaine, lowering prices and fueling higher demand, particularly as new users are more likely to continue using the drug. 因此,根据美国缉毒局的数据和经济研究,美国与可卡因有关的过量死亡在2010年代后期开始急剧上升,逆转了多年的稳定。 As a result, cocaine-related overdose deaths in the U.S. began rising sharply in the late 2010s, reversing years of stability, according to DEA data and economic research.
