Gaze upon cocaine, and you will see powder. Look through cocaine, and you will see the world. Writing about cocaine, in the author's own words, is akin to consuming it. Constantly, you crave more news, more information, and what you find is delectable - you can no longer do without it. The deeper I descend into the whitened circles of coca, the more I realize that people do not know. There is a river that runs beneath the great cities, a river that originates in South America, passes through Africa, and branches out in all directions.
Men and women stroll along the Via del Corso and the Parisian boulevards, gather in Times Square, and walk with bowed heads down the avenues of London. Can they not hear anything? How do they manage to endure all that noise?
This river, this cocaine, flows unseen, unnoticed by the masses. They are deaf to its roar, blind to its presence. Yet, it permeates every aspect of their lives, shaping their realities in ways they can scarcely imagine. The cocaine trade is a vast, intricate network, a spider's web that stretches across continents, ensnaring the powerful and the powerless alike.
Each grain of this white powder carries a story, a tale of human suffering and greed, of corruption and violence. It is the lifeblood of cartels, the currency of the underworld, the scourge of communities torn apart by its insatiable demand. And still, the people walk on, oblivious to the darkness that lurks beneath their feet.
To write about cocaine is to delve into the depths of the human condition, to confront the uncomfortable truths that we so often choose to ignore. It is a journey through the shadows, a descent into the abyss of our own desires and weaknesses. The more one learns, the more one realizes the vastness of the problem, the complexity of the issues at hand.
Yet, in the end, the author's duty is not to shy away from this reality, but to shine a light upon it, to expose the hidden currents that shape our world. For only through understanding can we hope to find a way forward, to break the cycle of addiction and exploitation that has held us in its grip for far too long.
