PROHIBITION CREATES UNINTENDED PROBLEMS

...Harness the massive tax potential and deprive criminal traffickers at the same time; Repeal Marijuana Prohibition - Reconfigure Laws - Establish & Regulate A legal Coca Trade...

Our Government Fails To Regulate When It Prohibits.

 ...This highlights the need to research whether Coca, when incorporated into "Coca" Cola's Original Patent Formula in mild doses similar to caffeine wasn't a much less problematic situation then Illegal Cocaine and Crack have turned out to be in the absence of these legal markets. Natural Coca in minute doses would create a feeling of well-being at a much less comparable dosage level than caffeine, potentially reducing the undesirable side effects associated with caffeine.     

 ... Coca leaves created NO problems over the millenniums until Refinement was developed by some brilliant foreign chemist. Then within a decade the Man Made Plague that had been created was realized and spread like wildfire through all these foreign countries.  People from these foreign countries then started showing up and shooting these peasants who's ancestral traditions surrounded the Coca leaf and made their age old tradition illegal -due to the motives of a few handfuls of Mafia types dealing refined Cocaine to a PROHIBITION generated black market in these foreign countries ...   

   These Coca producing countries had traditionally relied upon some form of Coca trade as the cornerstone of their respective economies for all these centuries until Prohibition came about in the 30s' -Then the Nixon Administration came along.    The U.S. policy of totally outlawing it and then shooting everybody associated with it in these producing countries creates and maintains a problem in that region where local warlords then form rival illegal Armies and compete for the $ MegaBucks generated from all these previously almost worthless weeds, which used to balance out in value to other types of local produce. Drug Lord's Armies torment local villagers, then they leave and are replaced by the Local Federale Govt' goons who also torment them -and this Drug War viscous cycle continues as each side accuses these innocent of helping the other.    Living in constant wartime danger the real losers are the innocent and children living amidst the chaos and continuing poverty with no end in sight under the current Policy.  

   ... If the Federales' find them with $100 or a new bicycle, they are accused of being a trafficker.

  These nations are kept out of balance and  in poverty by the Policies of foreign governments and nations with problems in their own legal structures.   Locals caught with drug components; (Coca paste or semi-staged Cocaine ingredients, etc)  are kept in corral style prisons for  5 - 7  years when their main incentive is to offset an overwhelming black market demand for an easy money illegal product -generated by Prohibition ...   Locals experience almost  No difference in the types of criminal acts committed against them by both groups where High $$$ Corruption is the name of the game.   The U.S. then seems to have no shortage of Budget to help straighten everything all out and provides assistance by blackening the skies of these Third World developing countries with swarms of helicopters with machine guns    -somewhat like descending plagues of locusts...                        

Colombia has always been famous for it's Golden Marijuana grown on the mountains of the Equator.   Prohibition has caused this more peaceful POT scene to come to be replaced by scenes of peasants with pant legs rolled up stomping around in chemical baths, carelessly discarding waste & toxins similar to METH labs into the eco-system, creating a man made plague of Refined Cocaine,  a deadly addictive product surrounded by Death and Hell which leaves a trail of dead bodies all the way up the continent to it's destination where it then cripples all those who touch it. Colombia needs OUR Marijuana   Prohibition repealed and the Coca marketing laws restructured to allow it to heal and return to it's Golden Marijuana, tourism and peace...  

The USA maintains a $100. Glass Ceiling on the finances of Colombian citizens, condemning and confining them to peasantry.

This site suggests establishing a reward for Meth & Cocaine dealers derived from Marijuana Tax revenues.
