The Columbian and British governments cooperated on trying to fight the war on drugs. The conclusion of their research was that Cocaine trades were ruining the rainforest. The Columbian Prime Minister said that: although drug use since 1988 has decreased as a whole, Cocaine use is the only drug that has been mroe frequently used.
I think that the two governments are completely missing the point. The point isnt to find out what drug is being more frequently used or why it is affecting the rainforest, but it is to try and figure out how economies that are using drugs as a crutch (like Columbia) can change without completely crippling the country. It's all about finding a creative solution, and this meeting completely missed the point.
