And yeah, some of the text went away way too quickly but that's why I love the pause button.

I've had coca leaf tea before, and it was very good as an aspirin. This only proves my point to people that coca does NOT equal cocaine, as many people seem to think. Coca is a natural product used by many people in my father's home country (Bolivia) and should not be restricted and burned all because people decide they want to mix harmful materials with it to make a buck.

This guy obviously works for some really dangerous and violent people and the film makers didn't bother to at least censor his face? Did they even think to do so to protect the man who obviously looks like a nice old man from perhaps serving as a lesson to the community by the narcos not to film their cocaine production? If not that is some shoddy and poor thinking on their part. @ su.wei

Now, if the US actually wanted cocaine off our streets and Columbia to be safe and free of the cocaine trade, it would have been done by now.

The drugs problem is hard, but the cities aren't violent. You people around the world, please don't buy drugs, you are giving dollars to narcos, guerrillas and paramilitar forces, if you stop the drug consume, Colombia will be a beauty and peaceful country.
