Explain Drug trafficking.

Drug trafficking refers to the illegal production, transportation, distribution, and sale of illicit substances such as narcotics, psychotropic drugs, and controlled pharmaceuticals. It involves organized criminal networks operating across national and international borders to profit from the illicit trade in drugs. Traffickers often smuggle drugs through various means, including hidden compartments in vehicles, commercial shipments, maritime routes, and human couriers. Drug trafficking contributes to a range of social, economic, and public health problems, including addiction, violence, organized crime, corruption, and destabilization of communities. Efforts to combat drug trafficking involve law enforcement agencies, international cooperation, legislative measures, and prevention and education programs aimed at reducing demand and supply of illicit drugs.
