YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

VICE travels to Honduras to meet the infamous MS13 gang and learn about a supposedly powerful new drug that is making them millions. Tiburón or “Shark” is a chemically-altered weed that is said to be more addictive than cocaine and sells like hotcakes. What chemical is used to create this effect remains a mystery.

Through spending time with the gang, their clients, their enemies and the Narcotics squad policing it, we learn about the impact this dangerous new drug has had on Honduras. Crucially, we take the toxic weed to a lab to discover if there truly is a secret chemical at the heart of Tiburón.
