Marijuana Golden Triangle fuels Mexico drug trade and toil
The Sierra Madre region in Chihuahua near Sinaloa and Durango sees booming cannabis crops as army eradication wanes. State Department data show Mexico’s marijuana area rising from 10,130 acres in 2001 to 29,652 acres in 2009 while eradication halves. Prices rise near the U S border, with wholesale gains over 500 dollars a pound.
