Female Narcos: Beautiful...and Dangerous

For many years, women connected with the drug business were used for pleasure by the bosses. In some cases, women are now using their intelligence to rise in their organization where they work. Many work as street peddlers because there is nothing else and no other option to support themselves and families. The money does not always goes to buy their own drugs. One had to pay for protection while her husband was in prison, by smuggling in drugs to him to peddle within the prison. She was threatened that it was the only way to keep him from being killed by the cartel. Others fall in love with cartel members, which usually cost them their life eventually. (Note: one woman was recently hung from a bridge, shortly after being arrested & released) There is no doubt that over the years the number of women rising in the cartels will increase, as there are more opportunities in the ‘workplace’.
