Colombian Military Seeks Creative Approach To Combat Drug Trafficking
The Colombian military is exploring a novel approach to combat drug trafficking by investigating a chemical solution to reduce the potency of cocaine. According to Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez, the plan involves modifying the gasoline used in cocaine production to diminish its effectiveness. The goal is to reduce global demand for the drug by making it less potent. Testing of different options is currently underway, with the government working with universities and companies to find a viable solution. This effort was first reported by Breaking Defense.
