<br/><br/> "Colombia and Mexico have become the dominant suppliers of heroin to the United States, supplanting Asia, in a trend that experts and the authorities fear could offset American-backed successes in a campaign against drugs that has focused mostly on cocaine." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article discusses Colombia's expanding opium poppy market, while noting that the shift from coca to opium production may "present a challenge to aggressive American-financed efforts to fight the illegal drug trade in Colombia with aerial fumigation of coca, a lowland crop used to make cocaine."
