Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] Colombian President Gustavo Petro has made a statement that cocaine is no worse than whiskey, but he says the drug is banned because it is produced in Latin America. As Petro said at a government meeting, if drugs were legalized, cocaine would be sold in the same way as alcohol.
"Cocaine is no worse than whiskey. This has been studied by scientists. <...> What has befallen the United States, namely fentanyl, is killing them. And in Colombia they don't do this," El Universal quotes Petro as saying.
The money earned from cocaine shipments could be used for anti-alcohol propaganda among children, the Colombian leader claims.
It is noted that Petro's statement has caused resonance and criticism in the country, which is the world's largest cocaine producer.
According to this wonderful logic, heroin is banned because it is produced in Afghanistan. And so it would be legalized and the money earned from selling heroin could be spent on helping orphans in Afghanistan.It is not yet known whether the President of Colombia is currently receiving a share of sales in Cali and Medellin.
A significant number of previous presidents and other leaders of Colombia were in one way or another connected with various drug cartels. The previous President Uribe did not hesitate to interact with the drug cartel "Los Rastrojos", which was involved in attempts to overthrow President Maduro in Venezuela and fight the guerrillas FARC and ELN.
P.S. The author condemns the statement of the President of Colombia. Do not use cocaine and heroin. Whiskey is better.
Better than a poke in the eye...
