How Cocaine Is Made in Colombia With Bootleg Gasoline | Risky Business | Insider News

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.

[@alexyochum5648]

The man in the end literally said if coca farming was legalized it would no longer be a business because they(the government) would set the price. Do people not get that these governments don’t support much Capitalism at all. There is no incentive to create a business when the government tells you how much profit you even get to make.

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

Hi guys, to the ones who don't know. The people that get affected the most are the farmers because they are in the lowest part of the production chain. Also if they don't trade the coca leaves (with cartels and illegal armed groups), they can get killed and compromise their family subsistence. To put things in context: Colombia signed a peace process deal with FARC (2016), the oldest guerrilla in the region. A process that included the subsistence of the people in the corners of the country (the ones who live by growing coca). But in the process president Ivan Duque (2018-2022), didn't implement the deal due to ideological conflicts and lack of political will; arguing that the only way to stop this was by fumigating the coca fields (compromising peoples lifes and the ecosystems around them). The new president is trying to do something about it, but the issue still going on.

It may be time to look for legitimate and legal alternative uses for coca plants. The reason is that if there is a lot of other uses for the plant beyond cocaine, then the farmers will take their crops into legitimate areas. Which will actually do alot more damage to drug cartels than current systems being used now. It won't be perfect by any means, but its hard to make cocaine if the main ingredient is much harder to purchase, because no one wants to sell it to you.

[@squintylizard]

Coca-Cola produces as much as $2BN of pure COCAINE every year in a New Jersey factory. The New Jersey plant receives up to 500 metric tons of coca leaves every year. The New Jersey factory 'decocainizing' the leaves for syrup (the flavoring for Coca-Cola). Then the narcotic is sold on to pharma in the United States. No other company in the US is allowed to import coca and make cocaine..

There's many things that account for this issue Is not easy to track down this cocaine labs, Colombia is a very big country and most of its population is in the big cities like Bogota and Medellin, so there are few people in these kinds of cities with a lack of opportunities, and dense forests and jungle's, on top of that add the high demand of cocaine from USA and Europe which are the consumers, and then you have the "perfect" business.
