Colombia - Lack of Viable Crop Alternatives


I agree with Mr. Popelier on making cocaine production legal, but there should be a dominant government organization that would handle and strongly implement laws regarding production. One suggestion is that to allow only specific amount per producer so as to prevent monopoly and abuse.

From what I'm seeing is the only crop in that country is golden seal a plant that grows wild in america and is like 27 dollors a dried pound when its picked and dried usually used for lung ailments and to cover pot smoke in urine.

Hemp fields for the 50,000 hemp products that might be made (again) in order to save the planet. Then shift to marijuana after it becomes legalized in more countries. Canada seems set to legalize marijuana.. OK, in few decades. In the meantime, a perfect, trouble-free crop for that climate.

The solution is one that lays around the corner. and that is legalise cocaine as it is used all over the world a people like it as other drugs and alcohol !! When something is legalised it will get out of the columbian farmers will be motivated to look for other things to grow On this moment there is no replacement which will bring the same profit as cocaine so of course the farmers rather grow cocaine than tomatoe's you can't blame them and won't change that .
