During the Cosquín Rock festival, two men aged 31 and 50 were arrested after being found with over 6,500 grams of cannabis brownies ready for sale. The incident took place near the entrance of the festival, amidst a crowd of tents and festival-goers. The police noticed the brownies, wrapped in plastic and arranged on a makeshift table, prompting an intervention just before the event attracted large crowds.

The brownies were packaged to look appealing for festival attendees, a situation that raised safety and legal concerns given the environment of a large music festival. Along with the brownies, police recovered other doses of cannabis and a significant amount of cash from the suspects, suggesting they were operating a small drug trafficking scheme at the festival.

This incident highlights ongoing challenges surrounding drug use at public events in Argentina, particularly during major festivals like Cosquín Rock, where thousands gather to enjoy music and atmosphere. Authorities are likely to increase security measures in future events to prevent similar occurrences, emphasizing the need for vigilance in areas rife with both entertainment and potential criminal activities.
