Colombia’s acreage of coca, the raw material for cocaine, expanded 17 percent to hit a new record last year, the United Nations said on Wednesday, as the government mulls whether to restart aerial fumigation with the herbicide glyphosate.
The total area of the Andean nation under coca cultivation increased to 171,000 hectares (422,550 acres) by the end of 2017, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, due to increased productivity and growers eager to expand in the hope of getting more aid to switch to legal crops.
The figure is the largest since the U.N. began keeping records, it said, adding that potential cocaine production was 1,379 metric tons last year.

"...cocaine is a a hell of a drug"
So is a decent bucket list that you can afford
Socialists take that away.
So the drug epidemic is understandable.

Nice going Timothy O'Leary. Moron.
Tim played with LSD, now being used experimentally for PTSD
MJ will be legal recreationally and is much less dangerous than booze
Portugal has fixed its drug problem with great results
people were using stuff to get high long before there was socialism and to blame socialism is a sure sign of ignorance
Any LSD used to treat PTSD is carefully measured (dosed).
Being a Leftist is as much of a irresponsible lifestyle as a religion.
the Left wants their soma for the epsilon that they create.
