Gasoline is one of the main ingredients for processing cocaine in Colombia. But as fuel prices increase, some locals are stealing crude oil to make bootleg gasoline known as pategrillo. Now, police are trying to find and destroy the illegal labs in an effort to curb the country's decades-long cocaine problem.

I worked with quite a few Colombian guys in kitchens and they said issue is that there's no road infrastructure for farmers. A lot of the time for poorer farmers their plot is so far out on a dirt road they need to manually bring crops back. The cartels don't need that - they offer more money, protection (not really) and easier logistics - you have a field that saves you so much money getting it to distribution as well as getting above average for wholesale price there's really no choice.

The more refineries they destroy the more land will be contaminated. Allowing them to keep refining crude oil in the jungle isn't an option but destroying the refinieries does not seem like a plan to stop it.

Irony is, after all that, with the locals wholeheartedly accepting the alternative plan, the government abandoned them. Hence they had to go back to farming the Coca. Hearing that, made me so frustrated. I would have agreed with you if the government hadn't made any effort so far. They did make an effort & made it worst; loosing the trust of the people & solving no problem either.

I visited Colombia 2 years ago with a family who were adopting a child from down there. It’s an amazing country. It’s gorgeous and the people overall there are amazing as well. I got a chance to traverse a lot of the Andes mountains as well as the area throughout the Caribbean Sea coastal region. Even if you were an elite special forces operative, it’s nearly impossible to patrol the terrain down there effectively. Unfortunately the only way to curb the flow of cocaine production in Colombia is for the demand for cocaine to drastically decrease.

I agree that it's a great video, I have one question that you might be able to answer. In the video at 13:15 min it mentions that more then 20,000 people overdosed in the US. My question is, are there statistics of the amount of people being murdered per year related to cocaine in Colombia? I'd love to know your insights.

Hard to trust the legitimacy of any numbers this "journalist" cites. About the oil pipeline thefts she said "they"ve lost 260,000 barrels to theft, that's over $2 billion dollars." Wrong! Even at $75 per barrel that's only $20 million. Off by a multiple of 1000X.

@jtjones4081 11 ай бұрын

Just so you know this "war" is total BS. In Columbia, there are 605,000 acres planted with cocoa. 220,000 farmers make their living from cocoa earning at most $2,000.00 per year. If the US gov't paid each farmer $2,000.00 per year to Not grow cocoa the bill would be $440 million per year. A pittance compared to what we spend trying to "defeat" it.

Hi guys, to the ones who don't know. The people that get affected the most are the farmers because they are in the lowest part of the production chain. Also if they don't trade the coca leaves (with cartels and illegal armed groups), they can get killed and compromise their family subsistence. To put things in context: Colombia signed a peace process deal with FARC (2016), the oldest guerrilla in the region. A process that included the subsistence of the people in the corners of the country (the ones who live by growing coca). But in the process president Ivan Duque (2018-2022), didn't implement the deal due to ideological conflicts and lack of political will; arguing that the only way to stop this was by fumigating the coca fields (compromising peoples lifes and the ecosystems around them). The new president is trying to do something about it, but the issue still going on.

The government provided them with an alternative crop. Giving them a livelihood as well as trying to shutting down Coca farming. Irony is, after that, with the locals wholeheartedly accepting the alternative plan, the government abandoned them. Thereby ruining the farmers life for an entire cycle of crop harvesting. Hence farmers were forced to go back to farming the Coca. Hearing that, made me so frustrated. What a shameless government!

@adamriddle7425 10 ай бұрын

It may be time to look for legitimate and legal alternative uses for coca plants. The reason is that if there is a lot of other uses for the plant beyond cocaine, then the farmers will take their crops into legitimate areas. Which will actually do alot more damage to drug cartels than current systems being used now. It won't be perfect by any means, but its hard to make cocaine if the main ingredient is much harder to purchase, because no one wants to sell it to you.

Coca-Cola produces as much as $2BN of pure COCAINE every year in a New Jersey factory. The New Jersey plant receives up to 500 metric tons of coca leaves every year. The New Jersey factory 'decocainizing' the leaves for syrup (the flavoring for Coca-Cola). Then the narcotic is sold on to pharma in the United States. No other company in the US is allowed to import coca and make cocaine..
