The Gangs That Inherited Pablo Escobar’s Drug Empire: Cooking with Cocaine

In Colombia, the heirs to Pablo Escobar’s drug empire are conducting business as usual — though with a somewhat lower profile. Today’s Medellin drug cartels are highly structured and run much like multinational corporations. But violent gangs operating in the city’s slums provide the muscle; known as combos, they’ve carved Medellin into fiefdoms, imposing invisible borders between gang territory — borders that, when ignored, often get people killed.

VICE News traveled to Medellin to meet gang members — along with top cartel leaders and assassins — who revealed the inner workings of the city’s modern-day cocaine industry.

98 Risposte a “The Gangs That Inherited Pablo Escobar’s Drug Empire: Cooking with Cocaine”

  1. This is a direct result of it being illegal…. just like prohibition it spawned violent gangs

  2. IM SO HAPPY FOR THE CREDIT CARD CLONE I GOT FROM YOU 🆙 CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE LEGIT AND RELIABLE TO DEAL WITH 😊💯🆙 HIT HIM UP HE HAVE BEST CLONE METHO AND OTHER SAUCE METHOD 💯 HES A REAL GOAT 🐐 WHEN TALKING ABOUT SAUCE METHOD HIT HIM UP 🆙 THANKS 🙏 dumb

  3. When I was younger I remember old heads saying how they would just add water to coke and put in the nose spray bottles just as they did..

  4. That’s got to be fun. Banging lines of pure coke all day while making the product. For about two days….then you want to swallow a shotgun.

  5. I wouldn't let myself and my 'employees' get interviewed just like that if I was a drug lord. That drug lord was a fool and Vice really got the balls of steel. 👏🏽

  6. i don’t think i could ever do this not cuz the violence or anything but it’s the fact how small of a cut your getting for the risk your taking

  7. Any chef bios out hear cook crooks waffles n eggs anybody no if carben soda what best wait proper flake fish scale. ? Is it 7 g of war 2 1 g of baking soda

  8. What's sad is we know people are going to do drugs so when as a global society gonna except this…. as radical as it seems truly what needs to be done is a narcotics decriminalization across the board and across the world… our efforts need to be in free detoxification and rehab facilities that work with a sober housing network which could also involve trade skills education and family social services.. also a non scare tactic drug education program that focuses on the fact and negative effects of prolonged use and binge abuse… and last but not least having all hospital's be a clean needle.. test and narcan location with a on site safe injection and use area that conducts testing on what little amount of street drugs still remain… ìts a drastically new type of view and way to handle the drug problem but it's obviously the only way to slow the rate of people who use and become addicted. It would àllow those who want to stop a way out.. and most of all by removing the illegally way about things are done there will be ĺess of a human cost of suffering by making the drugs themselves clean and uncut… it would allow these country's that historically produce to have a safe economic system from farmer or lab to wholesale… and this would without a doubt slow down or stop the violence involved in the global drug trade… no matter what people say against that being the solution there being ignorant and there wrong becuz we've tried the illegal and war routes and we already know the cost and out come of that… by taking responsible control and acting like proper humans no doubt the suffering wasted money violence and death can be reduced to an almost acceptable rate in which those who make the choice to use can atleast do it safely and have a way out right there always plus we already know most use is from mental trauma or disease being untreated and self medicated so the whole world health care system is already partially to blame anyway… the judicial systems are just taking advantage by creating a way to abuse those who need the most help… which means there a mockery of justice… there truly nothing but a way for the state to convert the weakest and most sick into instant profit leaving a trail and wake of broken family's and homes and stealing more life's then they've ever helped or saved…. we've allowed those with money to trick us into believing our options and opinions matter and can be heard and used… when really the laws and systems just protect those with the most and make sure those with the least not only stay that way but slowly keep moving farther down the ladder while they move up…

  9. 1:30 – Worlds most dangerous gang, Cocaine, Shes a woman in a so called stash-house where money is beeing made: "So….okey, I've just been blindfolded…." like it's a normal reporting day. GTFO of here. Do you guys know how easy it is to fake a room and get some fake actors to do the job. You are all falling for this?

  10. I would never trust that b*tch lol you see how she recorded her walking into the apartment? She really setting them up fr. Can never trust a women like tht. There intentions are diffrent then mens. Theirs is ok but to men its not

  11. Drugs users fault for doing drugs… not the dealers… if it gets in the hands of teens or kids that’s not the dealers problem… they shouldn’t feel bad, I even agree with them and I never sold drugs !

  12. Medellin cartel looks more peaceful than the ones from Mexico. Well they used to be the promoter of violences in cartel world, but now the chose to remain low-profile while the upstarts inherited their legacy of violence.

  13. Take notes. If it’s rocked up it’s not that pure. They dead ass put it in a blender so it wouldn’t be clumpy. Also grey is better than white

  14. العصابات أصبحت غير حريصة على سلامة المنظمة المخدراتية لانهم أصبحو يغشون
    المنتج وأصبح بيننا وبينهم عدم التعاطى اجود لسلامة العقل وعدم الاسراف فيما لا يكيف

  15. The fact that making cocaine is actually not that hard is what surprises me the most, you could make it at home and the hardest ingredients would be the coca leaves and sulfuric acid, other than that, you could make coke at home at small amounts

  16. 3:50 , that looks nothing like cocaine & that 100% is not a gram it’s closer to 4 grams so I’m not sure if the boys are faking it or the film makers faking it

I commenti sono chiusi.
