Résumé :
The onset of the global Covid-19 pandemic caused tangible changes in both the dynamics of drug trafficking into and through Brazil and in the operations of Brazilian law enforcement agencies, as well as how these two things impacted on each other. Data on cannabis and cocaine seizures in Brazil exhibit both similarities and differences across the two drugs during the period of interest; while the differences likely reflect distinct market dynamics (COVID-impact included), the similarities more likely reflect external factors, such as law enforcement activities, impacting the two drugs indiscriminately. Some of the observed changes were transient; others, representing intensifications of existing trends or shifts towards existing patterns, have the potential to persist.
