Cubans interviewed by Martí News are not explained how a totalitarian regime, which has controlled and guard Fast effect that adolescents consume in Cuba.

The bribe to police officers, the weakness of the laws, and the focus of the so -called forces of the order to pursue and monitor the detractors of the communist regime, instead of the manufacturers and distributors of this hallucinogen, have contributed to their Expansion, sources indicated to the Cuba program a day, conducted by the journalist Tomás Cardoso.

At the same time, the interviewees pointed to the fact that this narcotic is consumed as a simple cigar and that it is so cheap and of rapid effect.

The independent journalist Vladimir Turró said Friday in an interview with this medium that the price of the cigarette in which it is consumed remains very cheap, between 100 and 150 Cuban pesos.

«It costs less than a soda and that is why it is so accessible to youth. Really, there are many, many young people who are consuming it. It is a very hard reality that it has become, as it would be said in the networks, ‘it has been Viral ‘. Nothing to prevent it, «Turró said.

«They really do nothing. I do not see that there is an offensive against this situation. I do not see that they try to counteract the amount on the street circulating (…) perhaps, years ago there was a very large offensive, but today, in the News, the police, the anti -drug department, I do not think they are doing enough to end this type of drugs, «explained the journalist resident in the Cuban capital.

The problem has spread to other regions of the island, as indicated by the Provincial newspaper of Las Tunas, in an article where they suggest that this eastern province has become another epicenter of drug use, with a peak of cases recorded from the second half of 2024.

The ages of consumers average between 13 and 17, said Jorge Rueda Gómez, a psychologist of the addiction service in an interview published by Newspaper 26.

Bribes to the police

In the municipality of La Lisa, the jeweler Vladimir Ríos Cruz said that in his town they have done several operations but «did not take anyone», because a police officer notified sellers and traffickers in exchange for receiving a bribe of 10,000 pesos.

«Then, when they did an operation on another scale, they took four people. These four people said the head of sector (National Police) notified them when they were going to do the raid (…) and three days after the operation was followed Selling in front of a pre -university and in front of a primary school and nothing happens, «he said.

Cruz Ríos questioned that the authorities act quickly when it comes to chasing the opponents and human rights activists: «If in this country I now go to the house of José Daniel Ferrer, I have the assurance that I do not arrive, or To Ángel Moya’s house. .

In his opinion, citizenship is the one who has to take action on the matter «because the Ministry of Interior is not interested in this and they know who sells and who buys and does not act.»

«It is not possible that those of the blind eye be allowed or made with a problem as serious as this,» he said.

In Santa Clara, the independent journalist Guillermo del Sol coincided by questioning «how it takes so much to resolve something that is public», that it is in the networks and that it has expanded rapidly among the youth population throughout the island, endangering the lives of so many teenagers.

Del Sol caught the attention that Cuban laws punish more rigorously to an antigubernational statement, to those who condemn up to 30 years in jail for sedition, than to a drug trafficker.

«People are zombie on the street. That is amazing, but the problem of that drug is that the reaction is very fast. Since you consume it until it ends, it is fast and that’s why people get hooked and it is also cheap , as I understand, «said Antonio Font, who lives in Havana.

«Havana is flooded,» said the bicitaxist who also corroborated that the greatest consumers are young.
