i don't think that's what he is arguing at all...
rather than being 'against' the poor latinos, he is saying that we westerners shouldn't be supporting an industry that directly exploits these people, results in corruption, violence and political instability in central and south america, for the sake of a market based on western hedonism and the image of using a drug of 'status'.

Im just saying that this was supposed to be a discussion about the quality of cocaine and not peoples personal views on the DEA and cocaine politics, i have been living in South America for many years and i can tell you that many people depend on the drug trade and they are not making small change like natgeo wants you to beleive, they are not milionaires either but take huge risks, the real "narcos" hardly come into contact with the drug, they just make a few phone calls and these people are to be hated because most of them invest the money outside the country but they give jobs to people in areas where there are no other jobs and the lady running the local corner store wouldnt have a single client if it werent for the drug trade. Dont think that everyone in Latin America shares your opinions yagecero.
As for cocaine in Australia, i would never pay the price even if i had the money because its generaly shitty, here the cocaine is good and cheap but the best cocaine is left for export so its not impossible to get even better coke outside of SA if you have the right connections.
