Columbia Bans Glyphosate From Being Sprayed On Coca (Cocaine) Crops 




In a seemingly twisted turn of events, Columbia, known the world over as a center of illicit drug trade, will remove glyphosate chemicals from their coca crops – the raw material used to make cocaine. If the irony is lost on you, that means that while we here in the US can’t even count on eating a non-glyphosate coated apple or corn-chips, people who want to do lines of ‘glyphosate-free’ drugs can do so in Columbia.

As the BBC reports, glyphosate has been used in US-sponsored crop-spraying anti-narcotics programs in South America. President Manual Santos states that anti-narcotic officials will have until October of this year to find another method, aside from spraying glyphosate, to use with coca production.

Santos told reporters:

“I am going to ask the government officials in the National Drug Council at their next meeting to suspend glyphosate spraying of illicit cultivations . . . The recommendations and studies reviewed by the Ministry of Health show clearly that yes, this risk exists.
