Black Hawk helicopter in cocaine country - Alex James Cocaine Diary - BBC News Investigation

[blackmetalurgist]

The best way to eradicate Cocoa is to snort it!

[Beefer413]

I hope the government will learn that its not cocaine, people or anything illegal that's the problem the world has. Its the government and their money that's killing us. Government wanted to be the most powerful people by making money & its now out of control. The government deserves every problem that money makes including the hatred we all feel about them. The government don't think about getting rid of money to get rid of the horrible problems it brings. Fuck Them & they can kiss our asses!

[indian2345]

I hope that ignorant retard gets shot 

[libertarianjury]

No obvious good guys or bad guys? You dolt. The bad guys are the prohibitionists (that's why they won't talk to your dumb ass!). Without cocaine prohibition, what would happen? Some people might use cocaine? They already are. Some people might OD? They already are. (And fewer people would OD if it was legal, because then, they'd know what they were getting. Noone wants to OD! Duh! The same was true when people stopped drinking bathtub gin when prohibition ended!) Wake up, America!

[KombiPode]

I cant beleive this guy got on a BBC series. He is such a tosser.

[besosdeverano]

ALEX JAMES OUT OF BEAUTIFUL COLOMBIA LEARN TO SPEAK SPANISH FIRST DONT GET DIRTY COLOMBIA WITH YOUR DISGUSTING PRESENCE.

[alexandrepato123]

What the colombian goverment need to do is buy all the coca crops from all the farmers, and then destroy them, and give the farmers other cash crops

[iRepEast]

Gald to know that not all indies are stuckup.

A fan of Blur Now.

[Carlvskansas]

like marijuana

[MyDogBarksToU]

and what do they do when all the money they game them runs out... let them all die?? its not because growing coca its fun... its an obligation...

[eldiosdedios]

Most of the coca production is controlled by the rebels thus it's not that easy.

[alexandrepato123]

why the F*ck are the US getting involved with Colombia's Growing ... they are taking big choppers against poor Farmers, who have no choice to grow it. otherwise they would die.. the US should just concentrate on there own country instead od trying to get involved with every other single country in the world, (vietnam 70's, Afganistan, Colombia, Mexico)...... yes its affecting them but just fight the srug war in the US not any other country.. the colombian goverment are just pushovers...

[USAALLTHEWAY1able]

ok for one thing, those were columbian soldiers and columbian pilots flying the helios. and the secretive guys flying the planes could give a shit less about some stupid twat farmers, they along with the rest of our intelligence groups are looking al qaeda operating in columbia who sell drugs to finance their operations. we could give a shit less about who grows pot and smuggles it to america, usually the border patrol or coast guard catch them anyway.

[iRepEast]

jesus christ cut down on the charm usaalltheway1able.

[Mr6543210]

Columbia??? COLOMBIA

[0628willy]

@USAALLTHEWAY1able WTF are u talking about? you bearly know my coutry and its problems... and it is spelled colOmbia

[abuBakr97]

@0628willy It's interesting being British and listening to your heart felt-in my opinion-genuine and warranted criticisms of this guy. I think he still thinks in his mind that he is the cool guy he probably was before his fame. But I'll bet for 10 yrs he's not heard the words NO!!! from anybody. He doesn't listen to others when they're right in front of him trying to explain he is so in love with his own opinions. It's ABC Freud; translated.He's utterly spoiled. Scientific term; Tosser

[gonein7]

spot on.

[0628willy]

@alexandrepato123 I know how the us can be a pain in the ass, but in this particular case they are helping my country... anin the way colombian see this thet money isnt fighting the drugs... it is fighting the guerrillas (farc) that have killed more colombians than any other thing

[MrYourass]

one of the stranger reporters Ive seen. haha ..... That last line was a winner! Why did he say it like he was going to do something about it?  x D

[w3stsid3walk3r]

except for the fact that by legalizing it we wud end up spending even more money on rehabilitation centers to deal with the people who cant handle it...so wat that wud be like 90%? Why add more disfunctional people to society? And plus ur idea of legalization has nothing to due with changing the lives of these columbians. It still does not change the market in Columbia of a large market in cocaine....if anything it wud increase it with legalization in the U.S.

[lictor313]

cocaine looses 81% of its addictive properties when isolated in labs - without the use of ammonia and gas.

Legalize, tax and streamline- and its would mean a 10 billion to 40 billion budget cut for the US government and perhaps an equal amount in cash crops.

but our government would rather have the black market control it.

[abelitro12]

Wow! Seems like the addicts could become the pilots of American economy. Such heroes. Hail to Spears, Phelps and Jackson...

[MrPiekutowski]

@lictor313 legalizing any fucking chemical drug would be a terrible decision.

[lictor313]

@MrPiekutowski not in a society governed by rational, freeholding men. It only becomes a problem if released in savage countries. Cocaine was legal and readily available in Britain and America all through the 1800's to early 1930's. THere was no drug problem then, there was no issue surrounding its use- because in a society of gentlemen these problems are nugatory.

[MrPiekutowski]

@lictor313 true, but the chance of a rational freeholding government, atleast in america, will never be possible again.

[lictor313]

@MrPiekutowski well yes, there's certainly nothing to indicate that we can go back to rational small government... but it is still at least feasible- the only opponents to it are left wing irreconcilables and crypto-communist in the guise of "liberal intellectuals" (both words liberal+intellectual being misnomers here)

[WarnzKyle]

What a fuckig idiot, he looks like hes had a bit of cocaine his self there at the end, muttering wanker,

[sebastianrojasgomez]

Its all BS !

[999sasha]

Why is Alex chewing on the green leaves?

Does that get you high?

[milo555a]

its like drinking coffee

[DoreenBunn]

I thought Alex James loved his coke.

[NoelLozano]

If you eat the coca leaf it's not addicting, it will help you breathe better

[englander1971]

So the Beeb felt this would be an intelligent show? Exactly who the hell apart from some way past sell-by-date ex britpop guy does this guy think he has become? Oh please DO COME NOW AUNTIE BEEB,you can do better.

[2ndwitness]

Know the enemy?

The people who make the most money growing and selling cocain maintain their price and monopoly because of government legislation.

The governments and their legislation is therefore the drug lords best friend!

If you want to undermine the drug lords monopoly then remove the legislation. Remove the legislation and the price of cocaine will make it uneconomical to grow and market.

[2ndwitness]

This is not too complicated!

Even the governments should be able to figure it out.

So why don't they.

Who really is the enemy?

[TIMWISDOM]

I like cocaine and I like turtles. Am I a criminal

? Crim-mim-mininininian- a nirche- a nirche.

[ImportanceOfWhatever]

I think the real story here is not about the cocaine but about Alex's hair

[buck19]

amen to that! wtf?

[abuBakr97]

@ImportanceOfWhatever Amazing. Is he totally up his own arse or what? Talk about Narcissistic. Not just physically but revealed in the amount of attention he gives to those he's talking to.. or should I say at? In my humble opinion there is nothing more irritating than one who interrupt you.Yes it's rude but what it really say's is 'I'm not really interested in what your saying. So me being a stroppy Scouser i'd just walk away. But to do it when you've just asked the question and then not listen

[UncleKennybobs]

Cocaine? In MY vagina?

His hair isn't ridiculous at all.
