1/ Interesting follow up on the 'UK is biggest legal cananbis producer' story.

The same INCB report shows (in 2016) the UK is also the worlds biggest importer (330kg - 86%), exporter (56kg) and consumer (90kg - 50%) of LEGAL COCAINE for medical uses

2. Here's a pic of some of that legal cocaine - that I photographed for Transform's 'Blueprint for regulation' in a London hospital back in 2009, courtesy of an anaesthetist friend with access to the restricted drugs cabinet.
3/ Legal regulation fans will note that coca leaf is grown legally in Peru, transported legally to the US by the @DEAHQ where the cocaine is legally extracted (the de-cocainised leaves going to the coca-cocla company), then legally shipped to the UK, evidently the biggest market
4/ There's no deforestation, aerial spraying, paramilitary funding, enrichment of violent cartels, exploitation of impoverished couriers, street dealing, gang violence, or adulteration - anywhere in the market.

100% legal cocaine exists. But you can only buy the illegal kind
