The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has reported that global cocaine production has reached its highest level in recorded history. Key points from the UN report include:
  1. Record High Production: Cocaine production has surged to unprecedented levels, driven by increased coca cultivation and enhanced production techniques.
  2. Increased Cultivation: The area under coca cultivation, especially in Colombia, has expanded significantly. Improved agricultural practices and more productive coca plant varieties have contributed to this rise.
  3. Enhanced Processing Techniques: Technological advances and more efficient processing methods have increased the yield of cocaine from coca leaves, further boosting production.
  4. High Global Demand: There is a sustained and growing demand for cocaine in major markets such as North America and Europe. Emerging markets in Asia and Africa are also contributing to the heightened demand.
  5. Fragmentation of Trafficking Organizations: The breakup of large cartels into smaller, more nimble groups has increased competition and innovation in the cocaine trade, making it more difficult for law enforcement to combat.
  6. Weak Law Enforcement and Corruption: Inconsistent and sometimes ineffective law enforcement efforts, coupled with corruption in key coca-producing regions, have allowed coca cultivation and cocaine production to flourish.
  7. Inadequate Alternative Development Programs: Programs aimed at providing alternative livelihoods for coca farmers have often been insufficient, leaving coca cultivation as the most viable economic option for many farmers.
  8. Environmental and Social Impact: The increase in coca cultivation has significant environmental impacts, including deforestation and soil degradation. The social impact includes violence and instability in coca-producing regions.



The so called war on drugs has now been raging since the 70's and ever since then we have heard the same old tune frome the same old people about getting rid of head of the snake. Well, after employing that strategy many times over, I think it is safe to say that the decapatation strategy and the war on drugs as a whole, has failed.


In this episode, we'll hear even more evidence of how cocaine production is at the highest it's ever been and discuss how america's longest fought war is being lost on a daily basis, in a community near you.
