The Miami Cocaine Cowboys era was a period of time in the 1970s and 1980s when the city of Miami was overrun by a violent and lucrative cocaine trade. The trade was controlled by a group of ruthless drug lords, including Griselda Blanco and Pablo Escobar, who used violence and intimidation to maintain their power. The era was marked by a wave of killings, kidnappings, and bombings, as rival drug gangs fought for control of the trade. The cocaine trade also had a significant impact on the city's economy, with many businesses and individuals becoming involved in the trade. The era came to an end in the late 1980s, when a combination of law enforcement efforts and infighting among the drug gangs led to the downfall of the major players.
