Another aspect is the torture methods used by the cartels. There have been reports of rival cartel members or those who cross the cartels being brutally tortured. This includes things like being burned alive, having limbs cut off, or being buried alive. These extreme acts of violence are part of the horror that the Mexican drug war has brought.
Violence is a common element. There are often shootings and killings as rival groups fight for control. Another is the fear that grips the community. People are afraid to go about their normal lives.
Well, in one drug war horror story, a drug lord took over a neighborhood. He forced local people to work for him in his drug - making operations. Those who refused were brutally punished. Families were torn apart, and the whole area became a no - go zone for the police because it was so dangerous. It was like a living nightmare for the residents there.
I knew someone who tried LSD. His experience was a nightmare. He started having a 'bad trip' where he felt like he was falling into an endless void. He couldn't distinguish between what was real and what was the drug - induced hallucination. His heart was racing uncontrollably, and he was sweating profusely. He thought he was going to die. It took him a long time to recover both physically and mentally from that one LSD use.
One of the top stories is the rise and fall of powerful drug cartels like the Sinaloa Cartel. Their leaders, such as Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, were highly publicized. His escapes from prison and subsequent recapture were major events. Another story is the violence that has spread across Mexico, affecting countless innocent civilians and causing many to flee their homes. The Mexican government's efforts to combat the drug cartels, including military operations and international cooperation, are also among the top stories.
There was a police officer who was trying to clean up his town from the drug cartel influence. He started making arrests and seizing drugs. But the cartel didn't like it. They targeted his family. They kidnapped his wife and sent him a video of her being tortured. He was then given an ultimatum: either stop his actions or his wife would be killed. He didn't stop, and his wife was found dead a few days later.
Often, the first step is to stop using the drug. Then, medical treatment may be required. Antipsychotic medications can be prescribed to help manage symptoms like hallucinations and paranoia. For example, drugs like risperidone can be effective.

It was a tragic downfall all because of drug use.
