Just exactly what crop would you suggest an illiterate farmer plant that will be worth a few $1000 per kilo? The answer to your question is NO!
That being said, the solution to the problem is to make the crop worth a lot less than it is right now. Legalize, decriminalize, whatever name you want to give it drugs. The price will drop, cutting the current crop of sleazebags off at the knees.
Drug enforcement agents can be immediately re-deployed to fight terrorists.
With the drug dealers' enormous profits gone they will promptly become just commonplace ordinary criminals unable to bribe anyone.
No need for a flamesuit for asking a question. I've allways said that if one understand the economics of drugs then you will understand how insane drug prohibition is.
Nothing on the face of the planet, absolutely nothing makes money like illegal drugs. According to the L.P. black market drugs can cost as much as 17,000% of it's free market price.
That's enough profit to entice people to break the law and worse is it's enough money to corrupt the people that make and enforce the law.
Drugs are illegal, not because the politicians love us, but because they make a lot of money that way.
