Mexican Army
Finds First Coca Field
The plants
were hidden among banana trees to avoid detection.
Mexican
soldiers destroyed more than 1,000 coca plants after discovering the first coca
plantation in Mexico, the army announced on Tuesday.
“It’s the
first plantation of this type found in Mexico. As you know, the coca leaf
usually grows in the Andean region, at about 3,900 ft. above sea level,” said
Sergio Ernesto Martínez, commander of the 36th Military Zone based in
Tapachula, Chiapas.
The coca
plantation was found in the state of Chiapas, near the border with Guatemala.
The plants
were planted among banana trees and other types of native flora, in order to
prevent their detection from above.
Prior to the
coca field finding, the Mexican army seized about 180 kilos of cocaine and six
plants of coca in Tapachula, Chiapas.
The find
raises questions about if local drug cartels are starting to expand their usual operations.
Although
Mexican criminal organizations produce marijuana and synthetic drugs that they
then sell in the United States and Europe, the cocaine that the local drug
cartels trade is bought in South America.
Peru, along
with Colombia, is the biggest cocaine producer, according to a 2012 United
Nations (UN) study.
There are
about 149,251 acres of coca fields in Peru, while Colombia has about 118,610,
said the UN.
Coca however
is used by many people in South America as a stimulant, and does not have the
same properties as its processed form, cocaine.
Only a matter of time before we grow here. I actually know poppy farmers in the us
ReplyDeletePoppies are legal to grow if they aren't scored. Do you have any idea how much raw coca is needed to produce a pound? Saying coca is coming because poppy is here is just not based in fact.I bet your farmers grow pot too.
DeleteIf i im not mistaken this more of a show to get Peru o Colombia to lower there drug prices cause that fool didn't even cover his face and if it is true that fool has to pay with his life. I truly believe its all a show. Just like when they send a dummy across the border with a couple of lb and then send one behind with large kilos
ReplyDeleteIt's time Mexico went clean and built it's economy without these pesky and greedy cartels and the politicians on the take! Not to mention military and law enforcement!
ReplyDeleteIts been time for the past 100 years bro
DeleteHoly shit but really it doesn't surprise me
ReplyDeleteWak ass coke for sure only good use is for heroin
ReplyDeleteDesperate times calls for desperate measures. Just like in Texas, they've been finding several marijuana plantations.
ReplyDeleteMexican farmers have been kicked out form agriculture by nafta, the only cash crops will be now amapola, coca or grifa, emigration or meth producing, rarely can mexican farmers cultivate anything for their own consumption, even the nopales are owned by walmart, and some will be owned by the dragon marts, the chinese need to invest their meth precursors earnings
ReplyDeleteI hope you really aren't as dumb as you sound. NAFTA never kicked out mexican farmers. They simply didn't have the resources and money to buy tractors to compete with the low prices these huge corporations were comming in with and would sell it at a cheaper price. The united states consumes 1 billion dollars of avocados each year just from the state of michoacan...dumb***
Delete2:33 And how much of that billion go to the farmers?
DeleteLike everything else, not much, like all the exploited banana republics, mined into bankruptcy and the poor house.
After two hundred years of "friendship" mexico is still all fucked up, what would be the explanation according to the smartest guy in the world?
this will piss off the colombians..
ReplyDeleteLoz Zetaz making cocaine now. Wasn't there a bunch of people saying how dumb they were and blah blah blah. Apparently not as dumb as you think.
ReplyDeleteZetas doesn't even know how to roll a joint, they are only good at sniffing coke and murdering innocent people.
DeleteThey got caught...That makes them seem pretty dumb. They rule through fear. Probably not as smart as you give them credit for. That's why people are so quick to contact the army when their presence is known.
DeleteThey kidnap, rape and murder men, women, and children...Is that genius? I think there's still many people with proof as to their ineptitude. How smart they will look when the marines turn them in to meat confetti. I don't hear anyone bragging about these men's high intelligence quotient.
Don't hate man. No one said they were geniuses but they aren't as dumb as you think. Military tactics, high tech radio system, cultivating cocoa plants. Plus connections with the Italian mob, Africans, Central Americans and triads. Sounds like they are well adjusted to the game. Ain't nothing gonna change. It's business as usual. Tell'em Chivis.
DeleteAll narcos rape. All narcos murder men, women and children. You are acting like Loz Zetaz invented that shit.
Delete7:24 PM Military tactics? O yeah! That's why the Mexican Armed Forces use these guys for target practice.
Delete11:09 you win some you lose some. No one can win against the government.....nobody!!!
DeleteIf you have 10 narcos versus 100 Mexican armed forces guys with air support odds for the narcos are pretty slim to none. The military doesn't necessarily play fair when it comes to armed confrontations. BLO and ZETAZ had the most success against the military in most recent classes. If remember correctly both cartels ambushed the military and came out in top. Typically it's the other way around. I'm sure BLO and LOZ ZETAZ used military tactics in those ambushes.
DeleteFucking military stop cheating!
DeleteThey have to find a way to make up for lost profit now that marijuana with higher THC is available medically and recreation use has been legalized in some states.
ReplyDeleteYou must be new to the game... They don't make much off of marijuana they never really have, it's always been the cocoaine and crystal meth that have been the real money. & tbh, it just wouldn't be a smart investment on their part to spend all this time in strong cannibis considering the amount of time they would have to invest in it AS opposed to just letting it grown wild and chopping it down and selling it in bulk. That's the difference you incompetent members of capitalism probably don't understand; they're business men not stoners.
DeleteMETH rules in the US, makes the most money per pound, but in europe coca is said to be IT and to make the most money, best wishes to all concerned.
ReplyDeleteIf u think meth makes more money in the us than coke you are retarded or you either live way too close to the border in around 2 Many tweakers
DeleteYour retarded meth does make more money you dont have to grow it and its cheaper to make and its more addictive, most coke in the us is stepped on so many times its not even 50 percent pure . How do you think chapo became richer than escobar dumbass.
DeleteOh and Pablo had 25 billion chapo had 1 dumbass
DeleteGMO coca?
ReplyDeleteIt's mx not the us. Mx goes "non gmo" bro
DeleteSep 11 at 1:30pm
ReplyDeleteFrom what I heard, Cocaine still makes the most money for the Mexican Cartels in the US. Followed by crystal meth, then heroine and lastly marijuana.
Meth is the future, most coke dealers are mixing cocain with meth and selling it to there stupid customer ,they simply mix it and compress it into a brick and they tell there stupid customer its pure seen it happend to many times lately
Deletethe quality of the coke would be low theres diffrent kinds of cocaine its not all the same the brownish yellowish oily coke is the best to put out in the streets you can cut it down and it will still rock up.
ReplyDeleteto 12;47....I think I read somewhere it was quite a bit of bush to get a processed kilo something like 350 ks to get a k but there must be experts on here who would know for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou need too change your title its the first in Chiapas not Mexico your title is kind of confusin
ReplyDeleteOf course volume is one thing, profit by the pound is supposed to make more money to the meth specialists in the US and cocaine gets a better price by the pound in europe, where people make better than US or mexican minimum wages, it is because in europe they usually transform and industrialize everything mined around the world, like UK and the US, and now CHINA, whose ace up the sleeve is their cheap captive slave communist labor force, and which is causing bankruptcy, austerity and drug addiction in most of the unaware countries in the world including the european union whose leaders accept, help, abet and participate in the drug trafficking, that explains the UK's owning trillions of dollars and pounds in their banks and foreign debt, all built up from almost no natural resources, but from colonization, piracy and drug trafficking. This is expressed here with all the love i still have for the british and their invasion in the sixties with the beatles and all the other groups, so don't come crying "hate" like little girls...
ReplyDeleteUs has better coke than Europe for sure
DeleteWhat about Pepsi?
DeleteWut about esprite.?
DeleteMeth 6-7 hr high
DeleteCocaine 20 min high
Grifa, 1-2 hours down
Heroin 2-3 hours down, often eternal down, rip...
Crack, one minute high
It is all about what helps you most and what you can afford...
