I know it's Colombia, looks like nothing changed much since the Escobar days. If Colombian families grow it voluntarily, they're the devil's children, and again the working classes are more satanic than whoever is at the top. They use cement in the drug's production, if you hitch a ride on a truck, don't ask about it when you see the bags. If the government wanted, all drug trade would cease of course, I'm not Hunter, drugs are not part of my world, I'll always support America based industrial colonial interests.

The problem is that US colonial interest and the international drug trade have been closely intertwined, going back over two centuries to the China opium trade.

The Chinese opium trade of the 19th Century was instrumental to the early incarnation of the global Crime Syndicate and put it into high gear. It was just the right degree of exploitative criminality, deep-state intelligence and enormous looting to launch, enrich and link the progenitors of...

From a couple of days ago, the Brazilian airforce shot down a small Venezuelan aircraft smuggling drugs. Didn't get a lot of attention and it happens all the time, but goes to show that Venezuela has become a narco-hub under the communist Chavez-Maduro regime and any detractors to that fact should be viewed with utmost suspicion.
This old shark loves the smell of narco-blood in water in the morning.
As far as oil goes it's not Venezuelan, it's Earth's, and as such I'd rather have America based oil companies control it, not Russian or Chinese.
I gave it a quick thought and what matters here are the transit routes, forget production, because of its reputation and the scrutiny Colombia had to seal the borders to save face, or at least pretend to try to, and alternate paths must have developed. Communist guerrillas were involved as well- for those who want to scream CIA. Anyway, it comes down to the fact that no decent person grows or uses it, at least if not coerced into it somehow, and you can always escape the coca plantation and live an honest life. Those are very corrupt backward "countries" with a lot of drug traffic everywhere.
Tracking Transatlantic Drug Flows: Cocaine's Path from South America Across the Caribbean to Europe
Transatlantic cocaine trafficking has produced alarming and lasting effects on both sides of the Atlantic. Governments have struggled to respond to this rising public health and security threat. International cooperation is imperative for creating solutions that are both comprehensive and...
The majority of coca harvesting takes place in three countries, Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru, which also serve as the starting point of the drug trade to Europe.
In 2020, these three countries alone grew an estimated 99.5 percent of the global coca cultivation.
Although the refined cocaine is occasionally transported directly to Europe from South America, increased patrolling in areas like Colombia’s coastline has pushed drug traffickers to diversify their routes, including through the Caribbean.
To get to the Caribbean, drug traffickers favor transiting from Colombia through Venezuela.
The Colombia–Venezuela border in particular has lax controls on the Venezuelan side, and some members of the Venezuelan military are involved or support the trafficking of drugs.
From the UN,
Venezuela shines bright as a high frequency hot spot for trafficking by water, data by volume would be better. Shipments bound for Europe most likely leave from there or Brazil.

I think Venezuela is just a low hanging fruit. Opiates shipped from China, and smuggled through Mexico and Canada are much bigger problem than cocaine.
Another narco boat was struck earlier today, this is the third (or fourth according to DJT) such strike. The strike happened in international waters. Three narcos were killed.
