BUENAVENTURA A COCAINE EXPORT CENTER

Colombia’s largest port city is a point of origin for cocaine smuggled north and a hotbed of violence as paramilitaries battle guerrillas for control of access to the source of mountain coca production and the river routes to the Pacific.

im sick of the whole drug thing

if you like charlie go have a few lines and have a good night..if you dont then dont.

in my opinion alcohol and cigarettes are just as bad if not worse and cause more problems.

all the governments are doing by making it so illegal is spending billions of our tax dollars on unnecessary crap that could be spent elsewhere, making criminals rich and causing unnecessary violence.

Yes azu, probably my life's savings intercepted. I will HAVE to work now!
Seriously though-sorry maria- these interceptions of dirty money need to continue and with greater frequency in order to act as the deterrent that Colombia and its decent people need!
Thanks for posting the info!

"before the cops found it and counted it....."

Actually they weigh the stuff not count it.

Weigh it? Hell this is Colombia we are talking about.

They had one guy count it, then they had another guy it in front of him, then a third guy, still not satisfied they had the machine count it, that was good enough so they brought a machine from Bogota to count it, and they are probably counting it again as I am writing this.
