Columbian Government To Buy Drug Crops! (moved from ATSNN)

In their latest attempt to stop the ongoing drugs problem in Columbia, the Columbian government has agreed to buy farmers crops of coca, the plant used to produce coc aine. They have said that farmers will be able to approach the Police/Army without fear of arrest and hand over their crops for a 'negotiable' price!



This is just unreal!

Im moving to Columbia ASAP, to grow drugs and sell them to the government!!!!!

Each farmer gets one freebie, where the government will buy their crop. You can't make a career out of it. On top of that, the government sets the price at the point of sale.

This means that if you have a thousand acres of coca, and decide to bring your friendly neighborhood policeman to check it out, he can offer you a dollar for the whole lot, and you're pretty much obligated to take the offer.

What happens if you refuse? The government knows who you are, where your drugs are, and they know your intent to sell them to coc aine producers. Arrests will most certainly follow.

I think this is a gimmick to entice poor, uneducated farmers into revealing their locations so that the government can more efficiently eliminate the crops. If I was a Columbian coca farmer, I would be laughing my bum off and going about business as usual.

Your probably right!

I wonder how many farmers will actually fall for it though?

I'd gladly buy their crop for a cut price!
