Latin America and Canada both indulge. The amount of drugs pushed onto US streets has to have something to do with the economy. Latin America is close to the USA and the American dollar is worth around 25 pesos so where does it make most sense to sell the product? Not hard to figure out where the money is to be made. <br />This article makes it sound as if Colombia expects a prize for doing the right thing for the good of mankind but to me it sounds as if it’s just another line of BS to blame someone else for problems created within their own borders. Coca is grown exclusively in northern and western South America . None of the economies in Latin America can compete with the US economy and Latin America is notoriously corrupt.<br />Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to decide to sell your dope to one of the richest nations in the world especially when they live across a porous border that is controlled by criminals and a corrupt government.<br />For some reason Mexico and according to the title of the article Colombia wants to blame all of their violence on American guns that they are not forced to buy and American addicts that they helped create. <br />Enabling people to get high and then turning around and blaming those same people for your problems that you helped create is getting old. No drug user is using and hoping that a five year old gets shot or a journalist gets killed because they got in the way of some narco....<br /><br />GC<br />Oh and spraying Farc guerrilla coca plantations in Colombia is not gonna work because it’s grown in <br />other countries Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-85965238896790334872020-01-23T15:21:26.016-07:002020-01-23T15:21:26.016-07:00It's not like production and routes haven'...It's not like production and routes haven't relocated before the hub will just be elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-37967329909052301582020-01-23T09:18:43.748-07:002020-01-23T09:18:43.748-07:00Yeah right....White US citizens maybe.Yeah right....White US citizens maybe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-52529088261264973002020-01-23T08:31:33.897-07:002020-01-23T08:31:33.897-07:00It's not only US consuming drugs, it's wor...It's not only US consuming drugs, it's world wide problem, but hey let's continue to blame the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-934221962378470332020-01-23T08:16:29.563-07:002020-01-23T08:16:29.563-07:00question for debate: Without Americans/if US legal...question for debate: Without Americans/if US legalized cooking/growing, distribution of drugs in America, would there be no drug wars?<br />I say there still would be, but with less casualties, and less turf wars around Border Towns. i will not act like US consumption is not the main driving force behind the drug wars in Mexico, but we cannot forget that the drugs are made to be addicting and crippling, and that is why they are lucrative.people like to forget that the socialites and young people in Mexico love drugs too, and buy them. Central America its the same thing in small spaces but you see a lot more impoverished people addicted to crack. Also lets not forget that Colombia is slinging coca to every other major seaport in the world..this spraying cant stop the beast of this cycle but neither can even the end of US consumption of drugs cause they would just sell to the next guys and infiltrate a new market even more. thats how bleak it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-77477099064094961012020-01-23T03:55:26.982-07:002020-01-23T03:55:26.982-07:00cocaine is for fhs bourgeoisie...

This is GREAT and it makes perfect sense! <br /><br />This way we show the American public that we are doing SOMETHING forceful (the best would be if we could nuke 'em though). At the same time it will not make dent in the supply so the drugs will keep on flowing and those getting rich from bribes and the war on drugs will get even richer!<br /><br />Cool, rite?
