In recent decades, the bigger threat to the region has been drug-related violence.Maduro, besieged by U.S. economic sanctions, has been forced to seek other sources of revenue in recent months. In addition to the illicit sale of gold, the Venezuelan military is also allegedly controlling transatlantic cocaine smuggling routes.That cocaine trade, Faller said, is helping fund the remnants of Colombia's communist guerrillas, such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)."The data and statistics show that their numbers have increased because of what they can gain in terms of freedom of maneuver and the economic opportunity that they get from illicit trafficking and partnering with the Maduro regime," said Faller. "Illicit narco trafficking through Venezuela is up some 40 percent.”

The bad two drugs cross the line, I think. I would call those military grade.
