Devil's Breath Eradication

7 months ago

Just wondering. Why aren't the Devil's Breath trees eradicated? After all, we don't see acres of poppies or coca plants in Medellín or other cities in Colombia; These pretty flowers provide gangs who run putas with an easy way to make money by murdering Colombians and tourists. I suspect that a silent conspiracy is at work, government, in league with crime bosses. Upsetting access to scopalamine would see the gang bangers turn to other ways to earn and would potentially threaten empires built with gangster muscle. I imagined it would be so easy to stop the poisonings but now I don't expect to find more than the bleatings of Mayors blaming "foreign 'sex tourists." No citizen brigades or park department employees to eradicate the trees: citizen brigades would be "silenced" if they took matters into their hands and solved this simple problem through eradication of the Devil Breath trees..
