A new scourge sweeps through Argentine ghettos
Finally, says his mother María Rosa González,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a welfare mom of four, her bone-thin teenage son dismantled the refrigerator to sell aluminum parts within the streets of their Buenos Aires slum.
He did all of this for paco, a smokable, highly addictive street drug sweeping through Argentine ghettos, hooking impoverished teenagers, and prompting law officials here to revamp drug laws to stop its insidious spread.
Research conducted recently through the Argentine Secretariat for Prevention of Substance abuse and Charge of Narcotrafficking, known by its Spanish initials SEDRONAR, showed paco has outpaced other drugs in rates of adolescent users in the last two years. Based on the results of the study,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], officials say 70,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 Argentines between 16 and 26 years of age in the greater Buenos Aires area have tried paco.
Paco's effects on users are fast and obvious,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"My son was un muerto viviendo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she says, a "living dead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," before she sent him last year to live with his grandmother within the rural province of Patagonia for 3 months. When he returned, Jerimias, then 19, was back at it, eventually ending up in a Buenos Aires drug clinic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where he just turned 20.
The paco sold this is a chemical byproduct,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a leftover when Andean coca foliage is converted into a paste, then formulated into cocaine bound for US and European markets. Paco was once discarded as laboratory trash, says Dr. Ricardo Nadra,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an Argentine government psychiatrist who works with paco addicts. But Argentina's devastating financial collapse in 2001 left the poorest even poorer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], creating an impoverished demand for "cocaine's garbage," he admits that.
"People were broke plus they couldn't afford to buy anything else,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says Dr. Nadra, adding that drug dealers took the leftovers, which look like salt crystals, and added substances such as ground-up glass as a filler in order to improve their profits. "Drug dealers could keep selling pure cocaine in Europe or the US but now they might sell paco in [Argentina's poorer neighborhoods]," he admits that.
By 2002,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one man's trash had be a poorer man's drug of choice. Paco had made a social impact, sparking government concerns as well as earning a reference in america State Department's annual drug reports as "a comparatively cheap and addictive drug much like crack."
Since it is smoked instead of sniffed, and because of the physiological impact the confluence of volatile organic compounds have,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], experts like Dr. Roberto Baistrocchi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an Argentine pharmacologist who has studied the drug,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], say paco is quite addictive and can cause lasting physical damage. "More than any other drug, paco is the most dangerous." says Nadra.
