the politics of coke

[crimsonbanner1917]

dear comrades,

I am currently reforming my lifestyle. I am struggling to give up my addictions and old habits that do nothing but make my life worse. A close ally of mine in this life's never-ending struggle has recently resorted to cocaine as a means of self-medication. I am starting to realize that not only is the dopeman exploiting this girl, but she is bringing about the exploitation of farmers in south america who cultivate this nasty chemical. Please give me as much information, from a leftist standpoint, about why she shouldn't take part in such activities. I've done all i can to help her, but it hasn't been enough. As much as i sympathize with FARC, i dont support the drug trade. your information would be of great help. thank you.

Its the Western Corps who put the chemicals in coke and make it harmfull and CIA who trafikkk's it you should be condeming. FARC dosent trafikkk it .

How long has she been shooting ? Has she gotten to the point where she is shooting in dirty gallery's ? I've been around the Roc and the white stuff myself , and I know this stuff is important . I know youy cant shake kids till they hit roc bottom .

Everyone knows cocaine is bad for your health. Its not as though FARC is forcing anyone in the US to use. Besides they wouldn't have to sell the stuff if the US government wouldn't provide the corrupt Colombian government with millions of dollars of military equipment annually.

Also most of the drugs being made in Colombia are from the drug cartels and their paramilitaries. To fund their war the FARC has to resort to this as well or face defeat.

Coca has been cultivated by the farmers out of neccesity not force. The FARC taxes the drug cartels. Also the CIA has nothing to do with the cocaine trade. Also I doubt she is shotting it. Shooting cocaine and dirty galleries have all but died out. There are a few straglers. But thats mainly it.

COCA (Erythroxylon cocca) is an ancestral crop grown by the native cultures of South America for various ritual and non ritual reason. The consumption of this plant (chewed or in tea) is a common practice.
The problem begins when the plant was changed into cocaine by adding very toxic chemicals such as acetone.
Don't forget the plant existed before the first europeans arrived to America. This plant is part of the culture of many countries and nobody has the right to force its complete destruction.

Have you heard about the Iran-Contras Affair?

Back in the mid 80's (Ronald Reagan days) the CIA sold cocaine in poor neighborhoods
mostly populated by african americans.
With that dirty money the CIA bought weapons from U.S enemy Iran, and gave
them to the infamous Contra in Nicaragua to overthrow Sandinistas from power.

Don't forget what is the real meaning of CIA (Crime International Agency).

Im quite aware of the fact that they sold CRACK cocaine. Not cocaine as cocaine is to expensive to be sold in ghettos.

You know what I was trying to say. The CIA sold drugs to people in order to finance its criminal activities. The CIA traffics and that's the point.

No one disagrees with you grande.
