A narco-state is like a bad neighborhood where some people make and sell drugs that are not good for our bodies. They use the money they make to become very powerful and control everything around them, like the police and the government. In a narco-state, the drug dealers rule over the people, making it unsafe for everyone to buy or sell things, go to school or work, or even play outside. The more drugs that people use, the more power the drug dealers get, and it's harder for good people to make things better. It's like when a big bully takes over your playground and tells you and your friends what to do. A narco-state is not safe for anyone, and we should stay away from bad drugs and help our friends and families do the same.
