In the jungle-clad mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Colombia, we visited a cocaine lab run by a coca farmer. How do you make cocaine? Take some coca leaves, a number of nasty substances, add some bullets, some scary para-military soldiers, a dash of guerrillas, some corrupt cops and a pinch of coca farmer, and you've got one of the world's deadliest drug cocktails.Produced by Wanderlusts for LonelyPlanet.tv.

Huh? Are you serious? Coca bushes grow wild throughout much of the Andes region and have been cultivated for several hundred years. Coca leaves and coca products are very common through much of South America, where its use is similar to that of tea. Coca is important in traditional culture, and cocaine abuse is almost unheard of.

I love the farmer's voice. He was so easy to understand - I guess he tried to make things simple for the visitors to understand. It's so interesting that at the center of an industry that causes so much violence and hardship is such a nice little old man. It's sad that cocaine has stigmatized coca - which is a traditional stimulant on par with tea or coffee. I think the US "war on drugs" terribly increases the violence involved (especially the presence of the paramilitary).

Yes, this is quite real. But what you have to remember is a whole new chemical is made, just because gasoline is used doesn't mean it still remains in the final product, just because of the stuff used to create the final product doesn't mean it is a dirty drug.

Coke goes great with the rockstar life, it makes you feel larger than life, like a god. It will get you up in the morning after a hard night of partying, it will get you going when you need to get going.I don't think it's gonna inspire you to write any music though.
