    President of Colombia Gustavo Petro claimed yesterday that
    cocaine is no worse than whiskey. He added that the illegal
    drug trade could be easily dismantled if cocaine were
    legalized worldwide. The president made the controversial
    statements during a Council of Ministers meeting on illicit
    economies and anti-drug policies that was broadcast on
    Colombia’s national television.

    . . .

    Ah ! Now we understand ! It wasn't threat of sanctions
    that prompted Petro to re-patriate his errant citizens.
    Instead Trump's people found some big bags of Hunters'
    stash in the WH and sent that to Petro :-)

    As for overt legalization ... umm ... in practice it
    hasn't worked out so well. Sounds great in THEORY, but
    on-the-ground, real humans ...... need to be a few
    constraints - sorry.

    Besides, the cartels will just find OTHER stuff
    to deal in - little girls, heavy arms, plutonium,
    murder-4-hire, they'll find something.

    Colombians chew coca leaves without society collapsing. What you
    are complaining is South American Indian can self medicate but
    Americans can not.

    I control my cocaine consumption as easily as my whiskey consumption.

    Because the War On Drugs has been
    such a success so far, right?

    Well you do but many people cannot stop so easily
    without help but most young drug users do eventually stop
    using drugs3. Unfortunately the current maladministration
    has other priorities for the money i.e. giving the
    immensely wealthy like Elon Musk tax breaks.

    I on the other hand, both like most of the effects
    of my medical cannabis and would be please to buy coca
    leaves and make tea which once was legal. The Alto Plano
    users of coca chew the leaves with an alkaline substance
    I believe. This because of the route of administration
    per orum rather than sniffing cocaine powder is far
    safer but perhaps less attractive to our urban population.

    bliss
