That’s why young people in Colombia, who care about our country and its institutions, believe drugs need to be legalized in order to cut funding for actors which are responsible for those 4 millions internally displaced brothers.

We need your voices in Europe in support. We are tired of bleeding because governments in the First World chose criminalization of what is a medical condition and a fact of life since time immemorial; the use of perception altering substances.

We need your help; we,Colombian civil society and our institutions, are the victims of the ravages funded by the illegal market in drugs and the profits it generates of the United States Congress’ “War on Drugs” and criminal behavior by our own politicians and multinationals in Colombia.

US government funded report after report says the “War on Drugs” strategy is wrong, but nooooo lets keep on destroying Colombia.
