themselves contrary to justice. They become morally unacceptable
when they deprive someone of what is necessary to provide for his
needs and those of others. The passion for gambling risks becoming an
enslavement. Unfair wages and cheating at games constitute grave
matter, unless the damage inflicted is so slight that the one who suffers
it cannot reasonably consider it significant.

As far as the international community is
concerned, there hasn't been a country that
has been officially labeled as a Narco-State.
However, several publications have pointed to
a few countries, which are considered as
emerging narco-states

Bolivia has been accused of having narco-presidents and Panama of having narco-dictators.
Drug trafficking has permeated some Latin American civil societies to such an extent that
South Americans now talk about narco-senators, narco-guerrillas, even narco-beauty
queens.
Colombian drug traffickers repatriate between $3 billion and $7 billion a year in laundered
drug-related earnings from the United States and Europe. Their influence within the
banking industry, government, and law enforcement agencies already has impeded attempts
to prosecute them. Colombia's five-year-old constitution bans the extradition of Colombian
citizens wanted for crimes committed in other countries, and the courts rarely punish drug
traffickers.
In Mainland China and Taiwan, the Triads are moving
in on the government. Wong Man-Fong, a very senior
Communist Party official and former Chinese diplomat
in Hong Kong, has said publicly that a secret deal was
forged with the Hong Kong Triads in the early 1980s
to the effect that, if they did not cause political unrest
after the transfer of the colony's sovereignty, their
criminal activities would be tolerated. It is Chinese
government policy not to antagonize the Triads.

it has not done so already or will soon do.

The use of drugs inflicts very grave damage on human

health and life. Their use, except on strictly therapeutic
grounds, is a grave offense. Clandestine production of and
trafficking in drugs are scandalous practices. They
constitute direct co-operation in evil, since they
encourage people to practices gravely contrary to the
moral law.
