You know well that this drug war is useless. We must not permit a public health problem, the problem of drug use, to keep being treated as a matter of national security to be combated by violence.

U. Roberto Romano’s 2011 documentary The Harvest (La Cosecha) reminds us of the human cost of what we eat. “In some countries, children work 14 hours a day, seven days a week,” he explains in the film. “In some countries, children 12 and younger pick crops. The United States of America is one of those countries.”
