 Colombia's Role in International Drug Trafficking
The dramatic increase in coca cultivation in southern Colombia, a FARC stronghold since the 1960s, coincided with the organization's strategic effort to increase its military capabilities in the mid-1990s.
Although politicians in Washington frequently use the term "narcoguerrillas" to imply a complete integration of Colombia's drug cartels and guerrillas, there is no evidence that FARC and other insurgent groups are involved in the illicit industry's most lucrative stages: transshipment and sale of drugs on the international market.

 Medellín's Mean Streets @ National Geographic Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Once home to the world's most famous drug dealer—Pablo Escobar—the city was known during his reign as the "City of Eternal Violence." Escobar, a figure unquestionably ruthless and cruel, used drug money to build hospitals, schools, and soccer fields in and around Medellín, even offering to pay off Colombia's national debt (in exchange for amnesty).
Today the city attracts investments at a rate 300 percent higher than a decade ago and is fostering a development boom.
As another testament to Medellín's turnaround, plans are afoot to develop a cable car system that will connect the metro to the city's poor hillside barrios (neighborhoods that once fostered Escobar and his nefarious activities).
