The Columbian Drug



Have you ever thought about selling your coca plant harvest to the government or what about your poppy seed collection to invest in a retirement plan? Ok, me either. The Columbian government in South America in thier latest efforts to fight the escalating cocaine and heroin epidemic, have decided to start paying the farmers of coca and poppy plants in exchange for thier crops. President Alvaro Uribe said that farmers would have to sign a contract stating that they will not continue to grow and harvest plants after surrendering thier current crops to Columbian government officials before they get paid. The farmers are being asked to locate the nearest police officer or Army Commander without fear of arrest to make the transaction. ~ds~
