Drug dealers should smuggle large quantities of drugs into the country in a short time to replace the previous "ant moving" smuggling Entry; coupled with the fact that some citizens underemployed during the epidemic period, or because young people have not yet entered the WTO, drug dealers used hundreds to thousands of dollars to lure them to "quick money" for drug trafficking.
