You will recall the DEA program where American travelers to South America were forced to deplane in Mexico City and then searched for cocaine. The upshot were many enterprising young Americans sentenced to time in Mexican jails. This program let to the book "Escape" as well as a huge Mexican-American prisoner exchange program in the mid 70's....I believe. K.O.

The whole kilo is 32,000 and the price goes down considerably if you buy in bulk.. i can see tgat 100 a gram maybe being paid in new york.. which makes me wonder about the claim of 200,000 a kilo being paid in Australia.. just like when tgey make a bust of brick weed they say the price per pound is 2 or 3 thousand.. why do they do this? Is it to make thier seizure sound better than it actually is? Or just plain ignorance? And like someone else said why isnt coke being grown in the us like theyre doing with weed now? Everything can be mimicked inside a house,climate, humidity, elevation, air pressure and thickness.. its hard to bieve no one can obtain a seed to grow or a leaf to clone like weed.. 2.2 pounds needed to make a kilo is not a lot of leaves to produce.. seems to me the profit margin would be greater than a large scale meth lab.. so why no coke grow houses.. im hoping someone here has some insight as to why.. what does the cartel think about that?

The cartels have a pool of manpower that is giving them the edge in conquering the trafficking of cocaine, or for that matter all forms black market industries. That's not even talking about the family networks they have established within the U.S. to further corner another facet of the economics of cocaine. Let's not forget that the cartels' power couldn't have happened without the collusion of corrupt politicians who with the bribes further enhance that power. What the cartels would say is why stop there with the preposterous amounts of money they are generating with their illicit earnings. Let's infiltrate and compromise the intelligence agencies, presidents, and militaries of other Latin American countries in assisting the cartels in carrying out drug trafficking, and further undermine Mexico's war against the <br />cartels. Even helping a drug lord evade capture at<br />the expense of thousands of deaths perpetrated by the war on the cartels and their war against each other. From places where the product is produced to those with regions called Tierra del Fuego.
