I'm not sure how great an idea growing weed, or especially cocaine is, with any sort of government backing, or allowance.

The US doens't really like that, I don't know what they'd do abotu it, maybe bring it up at OAS, do sanctions, support a coup that sort of thing.


I said that greatness usually pass through conflict first, didn't I?

That is why I prefer to avoid institutionalized drugs AND greatness all together, and find a way just to make people happier.

dig up those pesky Salt flats and use the money to spike the water with mood enhancing drugs?

just think in this instance destroying the environment could increase tourism...if only because people would have no idea why they felt so happy in Bolivia when the crushing low hits them on their return home

Drain the swamps, educate for better agriculture, build better roads, bring electricity to rural areas, use hydro for power (there's a lot of potential)control but market coca, form alliances to prevent takeover by hostile commercial interests, try to hitch a ride on Brazil's coat tails with joint ventures, maybe joint hydro.

And I'd say to hell with the environmentalists and not let them get in my way.
