By Emma Hogan: Americas editor, The Economistbetween Latin America and the superpower to the north has never been easy. “Latin America doesn’t matter,” said Richard Nixon in 1971, the year he launched the “war on drugs”. “People don’t give one damn about Latin America now.” In 2023, bilateral tensions will mount over perennial questions of security and migration, but especially over drugs policy.
Even a small-scale experiment in decriminalising cocaine production in Colombia would have huge global implications In Colombia, meanwhile, the election of Gustavo Petro, the first leftist to be president, provides another potential point of tension. He has spoken out against what he calls the “irrational” war on drugs. His plans for drugs policy include negotiating with gangs, ensuring poor farmers who plant coca are not penalised, and that consumption of cocaine can take place in regulated settings for medical use .
La solución comienza primero, por repensar las bases de una sociedad profundamente enferma y segundo por el respeto a la soberanía de los países! Así como uds se preocupan por su consumo, nosotros nos destruye la producción ilegal!
I knew my grandkids were going to end up having recreational cocaine, all signs point that way... lucky bastards

“a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress.”

Decriminalizing coke? Are you high on it?

This time america will become way a lot better intercepting drugs to the USA from Mx.or Col. So the adicts will ten fold multiply in producing countries a lost retarded generation to come and murder capitals of the world like Mx tdy .

The US since its founding by Anglo migrants and their breeding in America has struggled with migrants. They have either had too many or too few over the centuries to make the rich even richer with the miracle of economic growth!
Open the borders and legalize all drugs now! What could possibly go wrong? Amirite, Dems?
And far left governments in bed with Drug dealers and so is the US far left. Who deaminizes the war on drugs Who opened the borders Who wants to end drug crimes Who lets drug dealers out of jail Follow the money
