Under the U.S.-designed "Plan Colombia ", coca and poppy plants in Colombia are sprayed with chemicals from the air by planes.

They shouldn't-but self-righteous assholes passed these stupid laws.All drugs should be legal..so should gambling and prostitution.The gov. should get out of peoples private lives.

[Idoclin]

WAR ON DRUGS is a film America desparately needs to watch. One cannot help but be appalled by how the drug war laws are being abused. Governement seeks to control everything except themselves. I'm a conservative. I once supported the war. I'm now committed anti drug war. This "War" deminishes America's true greatness.

[CliveGains80s]

i have no problem if western world want to shovel white powder up there nose. but these cartel don't spread the wealth to there country. I am sick there are child prostitutes in Colombia. I hope the farmers do not go to prison. they are innocent.

I can only assume US authorise, by your comments below, in other countries are pure jack asses.

[woodskier]

USA tried similar prohibitions back in the 1920's

[caramelchicken]

what the hell. another example of the arrogance of the US govt in thinking it's ok for them to go around screwing over people in other countries, because there's a THREAT TO THE US! they display a total disregard for human life, so why do they care if people get fucked up on drugs anyway?

[pengudaman]

@scolaynic then it's a war on poor people, but certainly not "on poverty" ^^

[scolaynic]

The war on drugs is a war on poverty; you can tell obviously when the poor are the only ones greatly affected. We need to get our priorities straight and think about the real cost of the war. We need to learn to value and appreciate life more.

[accin88]

i say you are an imbecile

[L123Sanchez]

I say let these people be and let the americans have there drugs

[111spec]

it is wrong to pollute our lands .

especially in such a RECKLESS way ,

a total disregard for life.

its a HARD approach and an unfair one .

the two goverments should be working together to find valid trade that does not ruin lives.

dont use poison.
