“If they legalized it(coca farming) then it wouldn’t be a business anymore, because they(the government) would set the price.” This man just summed up the largest cause for the scale of corruption, and illicit activities in South American countries.
-
What struck me as ridiculous was the above ground pipeline, literally giving the crude to them.
-
You can't stop production without ending consumption. As long as there's demand a new supplier will appear.
-
“Plant more then 2 kilos have $1000” imagine the look on his face when he find out how much a gram of coke is worth in Australia
-
"Government cracking down on every part of cocaine business"😂😂😂 I wonder how they're tackling corrupt officials who work on war on drugs
-
I worked with quite a few Colombian guys in kitchens and they said issue is that there's no road infrastructure for farmers. A lot of the time for poorer farmers their plot is so far out on a dirt road they need to manually bring crops back. The cartels don't need that - they offer more money, protection (not really) and easier logistics - you have a field that saves you so much money getting it to distribution as well as getting above average for wholesale price there's really no choice.
-
That contamination will be felt for generations. Air, water, land. It’s heartbreaking.
-
The guy doing it to support his family and then when he failed his wife left him 😢 that's devastating.
-
"Being with the guys" is quite possibly the best reason I've ever heard for joining the police
-
Destroying the refineries seems logical at first but think of the consequences. As they said a new one will be set up and then another part of the land gets contaminated. The more refineries they destroy the more land will be contaminated. Allowing them to keep refining crude oil in the jungle isn't an option but destroying the refinieries does not seem like a plan to stop it.

I started doing drugs since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
-
Legalize it!!! Hopefully, that would help regulate all steps of the process, make a safer product, more eco friendly process, and less "crime"
-
I disagree with the journalist saying it is illegal to farm coca. From my understanding it is legal to grow it , only illegal to process it. Colombia is not the only country in south america that grows and manufatures it either. Those people live what i call primitive lives. They dont live long and are very poor. From my opinion they have nothing to lose and have to support their families. Really some of them are actually kind hearted people. Its sad really. 😢
-
I really would love to see a documentary on the companies that produce crude oil... Seems like nobody is talking about their environmental impact...
-
When the government is the majority shareholder of the oil industry and still they don't put the pipes underground. You know what the problem is.
-
THANK YOU CARLOS !!! KEEP GOING!!!
-
Maneeeeee I can barely pass my chemistry class and farmers out here refining 😭😭😭
-
The failed drug war is like trying to dam a river using pudding cups.
-
Psilocybin treatment actually saved me from addiction to cocaine. Never had a bad trip.
-
"We just want to work and live in peace" says every link in the chain of drug production and distribution.
