Columbian currency

I saw this man drying cocaine in a soccer field in the middle of town… and then I saw this man bartering his cocaine base for toilet paper and food in this grocery store…

If you want to get a snapshot of Columbia and what cocaine means there, you need to see this flash movie at National Geographic.
Take a few minutes and do it. And then ask yourself if our policies of spraying crops and providing military hardware and assistance makes any sense at all.

It’s like, the isolation is so big, that the people had to come up with a new currency. Cocaine.
