On the corner of Jorge Luis Borges and Paraguay in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo at a cafe, I found the most curious magazine. The publication is called La Mano (The Hand) and the April 2009 issue sported, on its cover, a splendid photo of Miles Davis in all of his musical glory. Amongst the magazine’s many articles of Miles Davis and his life of drugs, is an article on the minimal social effects of marijuana versus other, more illicit drugs, like alcohol and cocaine. Pipo Lernourd, in Spanish, explains this awesome tidbit on cocaine…
Es bueno recordar que la cocaína, que es elaborada con solventes y quimicos tóxios en laboratorios truchos, es la droga que se consume en el Congreso Nacional, la droga de los políticos, de los torturadores, de las fuerzas de (in)seguridad y de todos los personajes que navegan en el gran mundo de currupción y violencia, pasados de rosca y dispuestos a todo.
WORD
This is the quote translated…
It is important to remember that cocaine, which is manufactured with toxic solvents and chemicals in bootleg laboratories, is the drug that is consumed in the National Congress, it is the drug of politicians, of torturers, of the forces of (in)security, and of all the characters that navigate the great world of corruption and violence, shameless folks capable of anything.
Sad, that in such a beautiful place like Buenos Aires such a horrible drug like cocaine is not only popular but cheap and readily available. Come on Latino América, its time for a chemical change, something that can actually benifit society and the environment.
