Being able to legally produce the cocaine and have the state's protection, open access to financial and labor markets available would no doubt fucking revolutionize the cocaine industry. It'd be the biggest thing to happen to cocaine since crack! For example, with it legal the local police and/or military would protect your shipments within Colombia's borders instead of seizing or destroy them... for free! I've heard something like 50% of illegal drug shipments are lost/stolen/seized by the time they get to their destination market... and it's still wildly fucking profitable to produce. Imagine being able to produce it cheaper, safer, and faster-- then cocaine becomes the rest of the world's problem. It'll push the violence out of Colombia and into the markets where it's being bought and financed... inverting the grip of terror. I hope they do it and I hope it's glorious for 'em. The rest of the world needs to learn drugs are a health issue at most and never a criminal one. The only criminals are the ones we make...
