Much of the original article was unencyclopedic, I just made the minimal pertinent substub alterations (see RC Patrol for slightly greater details). The Tijuana portion need to be better qualified (and worded), so I omitted it for now. El_C 04:20, 26 August 2004 (UTC)

  • Just to be clear, I am not the original author despite the resemblence in name. El_C 10:10, 26 August 2004 (UTC)

Where is this term used? I certainly have never heard it before, though I have heard "narcoterrorism," ie Colombia. J. Parker Stone 10:17, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

I have, though tis pretty obscure. See this RC Patrol diff from 25 August 2004, or in Third Annual Staff Development Conference, University of Wisconsin System Institute of Global Studies (PDF), for example, mention the term. Adding timestamps above. Memories... El_C 11:48, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

  • Oppose merging. This article is about drug trade in a macro-economic context, more as an economic or state-control mechanism than the specifics of drugs, their nicknames, and stuff, that occurs in the Illegal drug trade article. However, that other article can/should link back here a bit more prominently (I added a brief "See also" link. That said, this one could certainly use some cleanup.

  • Oppose merging. "Illegal drug trade" article is already huge. This is supposed to be a marxist concept, if I understand well. Narco-states shouldn't even be redirected to here. I'm removing the "merge". Tazmaniacs 20:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
