We cannot inflame the war by naively simplifying a problem that is very complex. The cultivators, usually simple, poor peasants assisted by narcoguerillas, are not the only problem. Many other parallel economies spin off the cocaine economy. Among these are the trafficking of inputs for the growing of the crop itself, arms deals and anti-narcotic police and a great number of middlemen who buy the basic paste, in addition to the refiners and the international drug trade kingpins, etc. The drug war must be waged with decision and courage.
Drugs are a great evil to humanity.
As I mentioned before, we have to consider that we are dealing with a very complex social problem and its origin cannot be reduced to the mere cultivation of the coca plant. Controlling the chemicals used is vital since these are indispensable for the cultivation and processing of the leaf. The origin of the majority of these chemicals is the United States. In addition to this, it is also wise to fight consumption with the same or with greater force. If there is no demand, nobody would produce.
