Great page.
I also looked at my country:

major European producer of synthetic drugs, including ecstasy, and cannabis cultivator; important gateway for cocaine, heroin, and hashish entering Europe; major source of US-bound ecstasy; large financial sector vulnerable to money laundering; significant consumer of ecstasy

Yes, i live in the Netherlands, not Colombia... 8--)

Please nobody start a rant on the USA ... we're too vulnerable as targets these days.

Thanks Andy!

Well, that was fun!

Apparently there is wide-spread use of hydroponics in Canada to grow cannabis, some of which ends up destined for US markets.

Dude, can I borrow your hydroponics set-up? I want to grow some Portuguese grape varietals to see if I can get a decent port production going.... :D
