Czech Republic, Portugal, Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil have decriminalized cocaine,

Germany, Australia and surprisingly the USA have made cocaine medically legal and Mexico and Peru have finally made cocaine legal for recreational use.


For those Cocaine traffickers who were incarcerated for a substantive period for trafficking cocaine during the end of the MDMA period can rejoice. The legalization, decriminalization movement for cocaine is slowly emerging thru the same lobbying group which have decriminalized marijuana. Cocaine although very addictive and typically used by police officers to pay their prostitutes and pay their dealers, along with sniffing cocaine, eating donuts and drinking coffee has had beneficial health effects i.e. weight loss and metabolism. Cocaine is probably one of the most under rated drugs for ‘weight loss’ and one officer, who identity remains confidential has confirmed that prior to retiring, he openly injested “cocaine on the weekends, but never during a shift”. Cocaine does have profound medical health effects including as an anesthetic, blood thinner, weight loss agent and prevention of altitude sickness.



For those traffickers who have been incarcerated for 1 years and 5 months with ‘great lawyers’ like Edward Greenspan, Alan D. Gold and James Lockyer due to trying to collect a little bit of money and typically trying to get back what others have repeatedly stolen, along with making a few dollars on the side. Recent reports have confirmed that a large number of police officers have admitted to sniffing cocaine in Canada, in fact a Nanos Ried study that was conducted at the Toronto Police Service confirms that 1 out of 12 officers admit to using or have used controlled substance. A lot of police officers similarly confirmed thru the same confidential study that they have at one time used MDMA in the late 1990 while attending rave parties.


In the United States, cocaine is medically available and in the state of Oregon, Cocaine has been decriminalized. Despite the claims of Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Czech Republic, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, Peru success, advocates have been frustrated to what they perceive as an over-zealoused system being controlled and dictated by a tyrannical organization. That being obviously those working in the Drug Enforcement Agencies and Health Canada. Advocates have criticized the state for dragging its feet on establishing supervised injection sites and drug consumption facilities; for failing to make the anti-overdose medication naloxone more readily available; for not implementing needle-exchange programs in prisons. Where, they ask, is the courageous spirit and bold leadership that pushed the country to decriminalize drugs in the first place?



Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Czech Republic, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, Peru seems to understand the drug policies far better then the rest of the countries within the global hemisphere.
