While newspapers tell us that cocaine use is normalising under millennials, police officials scream that they can’t handle the violent and deadly drugs crime that comes with this booming business. Our minister of justice even accused recreational users of having blood on their hands.

Seeking answers I asked six coke lovers to join me on a dangerous expedition through Colombia, the country with the world’s largest cocaine production.
