It would be funny if the so called war didn't waste so much money and cause so much damage in the way it is "fought".
This is just a matter of finding a good route for the traffic of the herbs that are trying to find their way around the world. Coca, opium, and marijuana are plants. They are medicinal. There is no phamaceutical substance that can replicate their effects. If governments were allowed to import, for the use of their own pharmaceutical companies, or their own distribution and planting, the herbs themselves in herb form, then there would be a de linking of the medicines from the trafficing.
In the UN book on World peace which came out in the late 80 there was an error.. about making the "drugs" illegal. This is a trade war now..between the patented medicines and the pharmeceutical replicas.
The money from the sale of these substances has fueled the gun trade, the small arms trade, the child trafficing trade..
prostitution..
it was estimated over 15 years ago that the annual income of the SA cocaine cartel exceeded the US military budget. There must be found a way for this money to enter the bank legally and without so distrupting the lives of the children
figure it out
