r/worldnews - Colombia Is Considering Legalizing Its Massive Cocaine Industry; There are 200k coca growing farmers. The state would buy coca at market prices. The programs for coca eradication each year cost $1 billion. Buying the entire coca harvest each year would cost$680M. It costs less to buy it all.

It's an interesting proposition. As the poster above suggests, this would legitimize current cartels. That could be good or bad. Among the current generation of owners I wouldn't expect much change. via Pocket https://ift.tt/3ov3vyj
