"If you're trekking across the Colombian mountains we'd strongly recommend a visit to a "lab" - or a shed - where for a few pesos, farmers will tell you how to make cocaine"

Sounds like fun. In Belgium, when you visit a beer factory, you get a free sample.

Do any of these tours depart from Medellin?

They said I couldn't play football I was too small / They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall / They say I couldn't play baseball at all / And now everyday of my life I ball.

"Sounds like fun. In Belgium, when you visit a beer factory, you get a free sample."
That goes for the US too.

But Colombian beats them all with the free beer samples given out at Exito.

(Sry, to get off topic)

manINred says on Sep 24, 2008, 01:00:

it is the illegal drug trade that is devastating to Colombia. There is nothing wrong with drugs per se papiChulo but there is everything wrong with the consequences of using illegal drugs such as cocaine.

I personally think that if the United States wants to win it's pathetic war on drugs, it should just legalize everything and stop iwth the plan colombia bollocks.

papiChulo says on Sep 24, 2008, 01:09:

yes maninred I couldn't agree more with legalizing all drugs... but for now I just have to do what I have to do.

FINALLY...some sensible thought.

catfish....i guess, when you get to the toot cookery, you just nose around a bit, don't get in the way, smile, say thank you and walk around as if interested in the goings on and nose around a bit more and then take a walk in the woods to get the heart beat down. not to worry, those gracious paisas will see that you don't fly off.
