Drug abuse is a major problem in the United States, and individuals seeking to use illegal drugs typically have little to no trouble finding those substances. The business of smuggling, transporting, and selling these substances has proven to be a lucrative opportunity for those who do it. It does, however, come with some very obvious risks and dangers for those who wish to break the law. Some of the blatantly clear risks associated with drug use, sales, and transportation are Jail and imprisonment, violence and disputes over quality, quantity, or costs of said drugs, and of course territorial beefs among dealers and suppliers. In 2021, CBP officers, Border Patrol agents, and Air and Marine Operations agents who continue to fight the flow of illicit narcotics across the border, seized 624,500 pounds of drugs in the 2021 fiscal year.
