“Miss Colombia had passed the test of talents of Miss Universe swallowing 50 capsules of heroine”. David Letterman. What is the first word you guys think about Colombia?
Colombia has been recognized as a drug country. Colombia export drug to the states, but some of us don’t stop and think who consume that drug (Colombian) no. I have so many friends from Colombia here and in the total of 11 none of them use drug. In the other hands I have some Americans friends and some of them use drug.

But the main point is that Colombia is fighting this problem, and sometimes is not fair to refer us a country like Colombia as a unique word or always associated Colombia with “drug”.
