You mean from Colombia to the US (probably more accurate to say Peru these days)? By this logic the US has a huge drug trafficking culture which may or may not be true. Besides, I think the actual drug trafficking route at this stage (around Central Amercia) is by boat to Mexico where it is brought across the border by land (one of the many ways it is imported).

Certain parts of the US have that culture, like traders on wall street who work 100 hour weeks, yes. Part of the culture doesn't mean it's everyone. I don't know where that lands for CR, I just know someone who went there specifically for recreational use because it's decriminalized. My point was only to be aware of this potential cultural difference, and that it may not be for everyone. I'm sorry if that is hurtful to anyone. I should have said that drug use is decriminalized and accepted, which is the real difference.
