Mexico becomes the deadliest country for journalists in 2019

It seems like wishful thinking to expect the majority of consumers of illicit drugs to know or care about the origin of their drugs.

Pushing for US government to legalize and regulate these drugs is probably the most effective action.

There's an easy test to know whether your cocaine was produced immorally - it was.

You could probably say that for a whole host of everyday products.

Is it cobalt mining that involves lots of child miners in Congo to produce your mobile phone?

I think this is a bit of a false equivalence- at most I might pay $5 for the cobalt in my phone once a year. That is a very harmful $5 but I'd bet most drug users are on 100x that

I fully admit to my comment being wishful thinking.
