Cocaine "is no worse than whiskey" and is only illegal because it comes from Latin America, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whose nation is the world's biggest cocaine producer and exporter.
The title leaves out another gem in the second part of the sentence: “…and it’s only illegal because it comes from Latin America”.
Now it has it all, the science-defying stupidity, the nationalist undertones and the “other countries are not treating us fairly” hint.
The tragedy of our times is that there really is one in every village and now they discovered that if they band together they can elect one as President.
Colombia is forced to fight this war against cocaine farmers and traffickers, the government against its own people. If Colombia doesn’t continue this war the US will force all of its trading partners into a trade embargo and Colombia will be shut off from the rest of the world. The Colombian president is trying to ease the pressure and bring light to the situation. His statement about the illegality because it comes from South America is valid, although possibly not 100% verifiable. We have an opiate crisis going on in the US, driven by big pharma, people are pushed to get prescriptions they don’t need. It’s still legal, nobody went to jail for selling oxycontin and all that other shit. The war on drugs was always a war on counter culture and minorities.
Well that fentanyl came from China as an attempt to flood us with drugs and destroy us from the inside. So, big pharma only gets part of the blame for opioid problems on the street.
Also US intelligence and military are notoriously involved in drug trafficking around the world. Just that Fentanyl can be made completely synthetically without needing a plant based precursor and also as it is used in medicine regularly, it is quite easy to source the resources or just divert from a medical plant.
Some Chinese, even if organized by the government, joining the party is hardly the main issue.
