Don’t say we didn’t warn you. With the United States leading the charge internationally for drug legalization, especially beginning with the Obama administration’s de facto green light to legalize marijuana, the British-controlled Dope, Inc. apparatus in country after country is following suit. The latest, and perhaps most dangerous step in that descent to Hell, is the stated intention of the new Colombian government of Gustavo Petro, a former M-19 guerrilla, to legalize both marijuana and cocaine. “It is time for a new international convention that accepts that the war on drugs has failed,” Petro said in his inaugural address this month. His government will put an end to “prohibition” and start a government-regulated cocaine market, according to Felipe Tascón, Petro’s drug czar.
Colombia is the world’s largest cocaine producer, by far, and is reported to be the source of more than 90% of the drug seized in the United States. The drug was directly responsible for an estimated 25,000 overdose deaths in the United States last year. Coca cultivation in Colombia has tripled in the last decade, according to U.S. figures.
