This is a very well made documentary despite the fact that it was mainly focused on cocaine’s production. As it was mentioned, pigs are not bacon, so eradicating the plantations of coca with chemicals that kill the soil, military raids, trafficking cartels and clandestine gangs in an open war, arresting addicted people as if they were criminals and innocent people getting killed in the process are not viable solutions to the problem in my opinion.
I don’t know the exact number of people dying as a consequence of being involved with the drug business or as collateral damage, but I am sure is a very large number. I know it will sound harsh but I rather see addicted people dying as direct consequence of their drug consumption in a legal market than cities being sequestered in this failed attempt to control the uncontrollable.
