man, that was weird watching him shoot up in the movie....
At one point in the show they were talking about the Clinton adminstration starting a plan to get farmers in Columbia plant other crops except coca. When they don't comply, OUR government planes spray pesticides on their fields. When one is destroyed, another farmer starts growing because now the coca is worth more....or the farmers go deeper into the rainforest, cutting more trees, to make more fields. The cycle goes on and on, yet there's too much cash at stake for it to stop.
