The drug industry is worth $400 billion worldwide or 8% of the total world trade. Drug trade is twice as big as the motor vehicle industry. Anything that powerful is going to have a major toll on society. Despite the high risk, the pure profit opportunity lures people to continue to take part in this market. From drug cartels in Columbia to 15 year-old children selling crack on the street in New York, there is money being made and lives being taken away. .

The areas for cultivation are primarily third world nations.
