Santurce, Puerto Rico - Drug Testing
Notable Historical Events Related to Drug Use in Santurce PR
In 2019, federal prosecutors charged 75 suspects in Puerto Rico with conspiring to smuggle and distribute narcotics as part of a multi-million dollar drug trafficking ring. This was the result of a three-year investigation initially dubbed "Project Crocodile," which was given the name because it was alleged that the notoriously vicious group would feed victims and rival gang members to their pet reptiles, which resembled crocodiles.
The group, which was linked to more than a dozen killings, built its empire by distributing heroin, crack, cocaine, oxycodone, marijuana, and Xanax throughout housing projects mostly located in San Juan's Santurce district.
Recent Local Laws Regarding Employee Drug Testing in Puerto Rico
On July 29, 2021, Governor Pedro R. Pierluisi signed into law an amendment that protects registered and authorized medical cannabis users against employer discrimination based on their drug use. Under Puerto Rico Law 15-2021, employers may not penalize employees or deny employment applications based on the use of medical cannabis. This includes all phases of employment, including recruitment, hiring, designation, and termination as well as when imposing disciplinary actions. The law also protects employers who hire registered and authorized cannabis users from being denied licenses, contracts, permits, benefits, or funds.
Substance Abuse Trends for Puerto Rico
Opioid use is a rising concern in Santurce and the island of Puerto Rico. The impact of hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017led to an uptick in opioid abuse. This, along with the increase in the use of fentanyl-laced heroin and cocaine, led to a surge in drug-related overdoses, which prompted the PR Governor to sign an executive order to create a special task force for the prevention of opioid overdoses. However, ongoing issues with poverty, earthquakes, hurricanes, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have intensified the opioid crisis in PR.
With little government funding available to address this problem, the U.S. Department of Justice estimates that 17.9% of drug-related charges in PR are linked to opioid use. To date, there are approximately 60,000 IV drug users in Puerto Rico, which also has some of the highest rates of HIV and Hepatitis C in the Western Hemisphere.
