Yeah... I love reading things of this nature. I remember reading about this a while back. By doing this they are just fueling the drug war, which is what they want to do anyway. You can't have a government without illegal drugs. I wonder if this strain is work of some scientist. If so, I think they should be given a Priestley Award. More than likely the Coca is becoming resistant on its own... like when the legal drug pushers prescribe antibiotics and other poisons to treat some illness. The illness just gets stronger and doesn't respond any longer... just like anything else Coca will do what ever it takes to survive. It would be nice to spay all the anti-drug drones with roundup. Actually, drowning them in it would be much better.

ahh, lief, just when i was trying for an unanamous fuck the US and there war on drugs you have to complicate things by bringing up something like crack babies.

however if your in favor of tactics like spraying in other countries with roundup to curb coca production, i would assume your also in favor of tighter restriction on chemical and laboratory equipment sales to curb production of synthetic drugs, and whats a civilian need a beaker for anyway. i can't imagine most any drugs have a favorable impact on fetuses, maybe they should even close this sight down as the knowledge it spreads helps others to manufacture drugs which could hurt fetuses.

although in many ways im sure you have a point, the cocaine production machine is probobly more of an evil empire then the US could hope to be, not really caring who gets hurt as long as the money rolls in.

When there is a demand, there will always be a supply to try to fill it... Cocaine criminal cartels are no more fucked up than the DEA choppers that raid and kill the innocent farmers. Let's legalize the coke and have a market through legitimate channels and many people's lives will be saved.
