• The aim of this article is to portray the main shifts which have been taking place in Colombian drug scene since the 70 's up to the present especially in relation to actors of this business and form of their activity. At first the development of Colombian drug trade till the 80's when two big cartels centered in Medellin and Cali arose will be briefly outlined. These cartels were able to control a great part of domestic drug trade and due to their enormous power represented serious threat to Colombian state. Thus the cartels declared open warfare with the state in the 80's. After the cartels' elimination in the middle of 90's new actors represented by small drug organizations arose in Colombian drug scene. These small groups were dependent upon cooperation with foreign partners, especially with Mexican cartels. Ever more important role in drug business is played by Colombian left-wing guerilla groups which will be described in the next part of the article. The problem of right-wing paramilitary groups and their participation in Colombian drug trade will be mentioned as well. Keywords Colombia, drug cartel, guerilla, drugs, violence.
