Best way to say "drug war"?

Question

Hi guys, please help me out here. I'm not sure about the correct way to refer to Mexico's drug war.

Would it be: una narcoguerra? una guerra contra el narcotráfico? una guerra contra las drogas?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Answer 1

Guerra contra el narcotráfico is what you are looking for, especially if this refers to Mexico.

Answer 2

Guerra contra las drogas is normally how "War on Drugs" is translated.

Guerra de las drogas, also often used, might be closer to "Drug Wars"".
