- Опубликовано: 1 май 2023
- Gasoline is one of the main ingredients for processing cocaine in Colombia. But as fuel prices increase, some locals are stealing crude oil to make bootleg gasoline known as pategrillo. Now, police are trying to find and destroy the illegal labs in an effort to curb the country's decades-long cocaine problem.

Why It's Risky to Make Bootleg Gasoline in Colombia's Jungle | Risky Business | Insider News

“If they legalized it(coca farming) then it wouldn’t be a business anymore, because they(the government) would set the price.” This man just summed up the largest cause for the scale of corruption, and illicit activities in South American countries.
If they legalised coca, the American corporations will take over, and they will destroy small coca farmers,
That's not how it works. There will always be a black market.
@@BattTube Black markets exists for what legal markets can't readily provide.

What struck me as ridiculous was the above ground pipeline, literally giving the crude to them.
Oil pipelines are always above ground though
They are to poor and don’t have the equipment to bury the pipes obviously
They actually know how to process gasoline too ! Imagine what they could do if they had money !
our geography is too hard to make underground pipes, that combined with decades old civil war meant it was easier and cheaper to have above ground pipes so they could be repaired faster everytime they got blown up (it happened so often it was like sports reporting in the news)
@@tomb9420 i feel like thats the main reason why the US is trying to step, in not all these countries have the “technology” to process crude including mexico, so they ship crude to the US and buy gasoline back kinda odd that they focus on destroying the refineries and not the plantations
You can't stop production without ending consumption. As long as there's demand a new supplier will appear.
It's true...as long as there is a demand for it, there will be suppliers.
it isn't a simple one-way cycle... it goes both ways. If there are enough temptations, people also fall for it. Then people fall for it, there are more temptations. so on
Duh, everyone knows this but the question is how
this is dumb cocaine is the best drug. USA allows it 100% they just bust the cartels that dont pay them
@@JamesWoods-pp3zb you legalise and educate so damage to people and the environment is minimal
I started doing drugs since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Hey! Yes Dr.alishrooms
I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.

"Government cracking down on every part of cocaine business"😂😂😂
I wonder how they're tackling corrupt officials who work on war on drugs
American consumers are a much larger part of the dynamic. America needs to stop preventing legalization
Couldn't be that the US government is somehow majorly involved in trafficking those drugs haha, no they would never do that, that would be illegal and immoral
We know Petro is …. 🤣

It’s all show and tell nothing is going to change,if the demand for the product doesn’t change they still have a market
I worked with quite a few Colombian guys in kitchens and they said issue is that there's no road infrastructure for farmers. A lot of the time for poorer farmers their plot is so far out on a dirt road they need to manually bring crops back. The cartels don't need that - they offer more money, protection (not really) and easier logistics - you have a field that saves you so much money getting it to distribution as well as getting above average for wholesale price there's really no choice.
The man in the end literally said if coca farming was legalized it would no longer be a business because they(the government) would set the price. Do people not get that these governments don’t support much Capitalism at all. There is no incentive to create a business when the government tells you how much profit you even get to make.
Exactly
Is it because crime is paying more , I feel sorry for all the people who are dying because they use drugs, cartels fill their pockets with money, while others are dealing with their garbage 🗑

Destroying the refineries seems logical at first but think of the consequences.
As they said a new one will be set up and then another part of the land gets contaminated.
The more refineries they destroy the more land will be contaminated.
Allowing them to keep refining crude oil in the jungle isn't an option but destroying the refinieries does not seem like a plan to stop it.
There is no answer to this. When corruption owns a country insted a country having corruption 🤷♀️

@kirkdunn1379
Thank you too all of the hard working coca farmers out there.
I disagree with the journalist saying it is illegal to farm coca. From my understanding it is legal to grow it , only illegal to process it. Colombia is not the only country in south america that grows and manufatures it either. Those people live what i call primitive lives. They dont live long and are very poor. From my opinion they have nothing to lose and have to support their families. Really some of them are actually kind hearted people. Its sad really. 😢
I'm not for or against, but these government agencies are making it worse
THE NEED FOR COCAINE WILL NEVER SUBSIDE.NOT TO MENTION THE BILLIONS IN REVENUE. SO COLOMBIA WILL KEEP MAKING COCAINE.
The men performing are either brainwashed or have a love for adrenaline & violence because their labor is in vain.
You're right. Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru are also large producers of cocaine, which is then transported to Mexico, and then trafficked across the border into the US.
Correct. It is used like tea or mate. Similar effects...
You talking about Peru. They can legally grow coca leafs
If they just grew it for the world and first world labs processed the leaves we could all have good gear AND save the environment 😅😅😅
The war on drugs is a businessmodel

THANK YOU CARLOS !!! KEEP GOING!!!
Maneeeeee I can barely pass my chemistry class and farmers out here refining 😭😭😭
Same lmao
I have no doubt the cartels are happy to offer a quick-start lesson in coca chemistry - or at least the practicals. Mix this + this, get this. We like it when you mix this way... etc
poverty would help you.
It’s not rocket science. Heat and an alkaloid. Probably harder to purify cocaine.
It's just distillation, it doesn't even look like they're using a fractal distillation tower. They're basically just making moonshine from crude oil. So the fuel you end up with is an impure blend of hydrocarbons similar to gasoline.
The failed drug war is like trying to dam a river using pudding cups.
Quiting isn't an option either.
@@puraLusa Yes it is
@@puraLusa legalise it and put huge restrictions and warnings and teach about the harmful effects like they do with cigarettes. this will eliminate the cartel because then why would people want to deal with people that kill for business?

@@coolboy5428 Why would you want anyone to quit holding back these criminals? Would you like to see the planet covered in parasites. No soul just the walking dead all over the planet? What if that's not an option? What if the walking dead is not allowed to speak to the living and everyone no matter what or who they are have to obey the ten commandments otherwise they're subject to extermination. This is obviously a parasite the very reason the planet is revolting against it's inhabitants AKA the parasites that take everything the planet has and never gives anything back that by definition is a parasite. Parasites don't have rights. They prayed to Moloch they answer to Moloch. They know what Moloch does to them when their contract is expired of which it is. If they are now praying to Jesus to save them that won't work being Jesus Christ ends up crucifying them.
Legalize it!!!
Hopefully, that would help regulate all steps of the process, make a safer product, more eco friendly process, and less "crime"
If they did morons would process it like they did with weed to make it more and more potent till eventually they'd be selling crack dabs.

Goverment has failed the people of the rural zones sadly, hope for the best for these people.
May be the government needs a plan so that the oil profits can be used to improve the quality of lives of the locals. This is a very important reason why locals do not cooperate. We see such things a lot in India specially in mineral rich places where the local tribals are in disadvantage.
Because nationalizing industries tends to turn out so well in countries with corrupt governments...
They would have to gaf about the locals first
I guess you missed the plot there.
The government did provide them with an alternative. Giving them a livelihood as well as trying to shutting down Coca farming.
Irony is, after all that, with the locals wholeheartedly accepting the alternative plan, the government abandoned them. Hence they had to go back to farming the Coca. Hearing that, made me so frustrated.
I would have agreed with you if the government hadn't made any effort so far. They did make an effort & made it worst; loosing the trust of the people & solving no problem either.
I mean to say, the worst situation you're pointing out to, the government over there has doubled down on it! Very shameful.
@@Haritsa-N the government is corrupt. apparently norway (I think that's the one) has used their state owned oil and natural gas companies to make huge profit. Their government has used that money to build out renewable energy infrastructure to the point that they export almost everything they extract. They've also used those profits to invest in the stock market so that when stuff gets real they can run the country from that giant money pile. It's amazing what can be done with a government that is both competently run and almost completely free of corruption. Norway is the only petro state to have done the logical thing with their natural resources. If only the US would follow suit
very good instructional video ! thanks for the tips!!!
I didnt even know there was such a thing as bootleg gas.
Great journalism ! thank you for sharing.
Propaganda
When the government is the majority shareholder of the oil industry and still they don't put the pipes underground. You know what the problem is.
Great tutorial thanks:)
The levels of risk and motivations always fascinate me with this
From what this videos shows, these police literally work for the oil companies/corporate interests. They safe guard the pipes, it's just made to look like a war against dRuGs.
If Colombia doesn't want a drug industry it has to step up and create new industries and jobs. Being a drug cook is relatively ok, compared to what else a desperate person could be getting up to (kidnapping, thuggery, etc)
Also Americans need to stop consuming so much drugs. They are the ones that enabling the organize crime by buying their product.
Well,these drugs do finance guerrillas who also take money thru kidnapping, extortion and more
And you make thousands of people addicted to this substance
Yeah it needs to show the US the middle finger, legalise it and move on from a war on drugs that has brought this country to its knees.
@LiamL763 the US would fund the opposition then Colombians know their place 😂😂😂
In Colombia there is so much control of goverment by drug cartels that I believe they are not destroying crops because of "war on drugs" but because different family pays for the advantage..
my guy, you know nothing, the cartels ended in the 90s, and right now all that remains are guerrilla hold outs in the western jungle parts of the country were so close to ending this
My humble Colombians thank you. Ya got me doing the cha cha slide on weekends
Thanks RUclips for such video recommendations ❤
They could easily fly drones or a plane to monitor the pipe line daily or even weekly. That refinery was there for a LONG time.
But how will the cartel (basically govt officials),make money?
The majority of the pipelines here in Colombia, are deep in forest and jungle, real dense jungle, even electricity is not avaliable, if you see a map of where the population lives in Colombia, is just the north and mountain part, more than half of the country is pure amazon jungle, or dense forest, super dense.
I think you watch too many RUclips videos.
the government runs the cartels. surprise surprise
@nricardoe lidar or thermal could do it would be more than they could probably afford to start a program like that but it’s possible
The day the Colombian government stops being influenced by outsiders and make cocaine production legal and raise the price of coca leaves so farmers can earn more this will happen less frequently.
The Colombian government is westernised
If they legalized growing coca the price would fall to the floor, the coca farmer they interviewed in the video literally said that at 13:45 . Kind of how like when weed got legalized in my state the price got so low its hard to imagine how an independent grower could even make money on it. Grams of 90% THC for under $10, after an insanely high tax is applied to it.

Legalize it and the criminal organizations go away. Just like happened after prohibition.
i agree. people so scared to legalize it. but unfortunately the facts show the harms in criminalizing things that people want. that really doesn't harm anyone else if it becomes legal. we could all grow greenhouses of coca leaves and have our own plantations, where is the injustice to that?

Where to get the seeds ?
Speaking from a military veteran’s(U.S. Marine Corps and Iraq War veteran) perspective as well as a person who knows very little about about Latin American culture in general. I visited Colombia 2 years ago with a family who were adopting a child from down there. It’s an amazing country. It’s gorgeous and the people overall there are amazing as well. I got a chance to traverse a lot of the Andes mountains as well as the area throughout the Caribbean Sea coastal region. Even if you were an elite special forces operative, it’s nearly impossible to patrol the terrain down there effectively. Unfortunately the only way to curb the flow of cocaine production in Colombia is for the demand for cocaine to drastically decrease.
Yeah, but that's not going to happen anytime lately, boss. The demand for it, I mean.
I personally hate the drug and what it does to people and families. But I'm a minority in that regard.
Glad you made it out or service alive mate.
Viet Cong has entered the chat 😂😂😂😂
Or regulate the market and let these people produce it legally. Then only the regular pressures of capitalism become responsible for the human rights abuses. Cocaine use is only really a moral issue when it becomes a vice. We learned these lessons with alcohol prohibition.
You will never eliminate the demand for drugs. Drug prohibition is unconstitutional just like alcohol prohibition was and for the same reasons.
@@huemann7637 I’d go one step further and call it a genocide of the mentally ill and a war on the working class.
Maybe the Government should create proper legislation for its country most lucrative crop
Not possible, because unlike regular crops, cocaine causes crime, death, and is a substance you wouldn’t even give to your dog it’s so toxic

I agree that it's a great video, I have one question that you might be able to answer. In the video at 13:15 min it mentions that more then 20,000 people overdosed in the US. My question is, are there statistics of the amount of people being murdered per year related to cocaine in Colombia? I'd love to know your insights.
Hard to trust the legitimacy of any numbers this "journalist" cites.
About the oil pipeline thefts she said "they"ve lost 260,000 barrels to theft, that's over $2 billion dollars."
Wrong! Even at $75 per barrel that's only $20 million. Off by a multiple of 1000X.
Just so you know this "war" is total BS.
In Columbia, there are 605,000 acres planted with cocoa.
220,000 farmers make their living from cocoa earning at most $2,000.00 per year. If the US gov't paid each farmer $2,000.00 per year to Not grow cocoa the bill would be $440 million per year. A pittance compared to what we spend trying to "defeat" it.

Hi guys, to the ones who don't know. The people that get affected the most are the farmers because they are in the lowest part of the production chain. Also if they don't trade the coca leaves (with cartels and illegal armed groups), they can get killed and compromise their family subsistence.
To put things in context: Colombia signed a peace process deal with FARC (2016), the oldest guerrilla in the region. A process that included the subsistence of the people in the corners of the country (the ones who live by growing coca). But in the process president Ivan Duque (2018-2022), didn't implement the deal due to ideological conflicts and lack of political will; arguing that the only way to stop this was by fumigating the coca fields (compromising peoples lifes and the ecosystems around them).
The new president is trying to do something about it, but the issue still going on.
10:15
"This mixture extracts compounds from the plant that make cocaine addictive"
Yes, that compound is called cocaine lol
nice video
It may be time to look for legitimate and legal alternative uses for coca plants.
The reason is that if there is a lot of other uses for the plant beyond cocaine, then the farmers will take their crops into legitimate areas. Which will actually do alot more damage to drug cartels than current systems being used now.
It won't be perfect by any means, but its hard to make cocaine if the main ingredient is much harder to purchase, because no one wants to sell it to you.
Coca-Cola produces as much as $2BN of pure COCAINE every year in a New Jersey factory. The New Jersey plant receives up to 500 metric tons of coca leaves every year. The New Jersey factory 'decocainizing' the leaves for syrup (the flavoring for Coca-Cola). Then the narcotic is sold on to pharma in the United States. No other company in the US is allowed to import coca and make cocaine..
Should have used it for own uses not to just destroy, power some machines or refine and sell for people
Damn this is better than Vice
As little damage as possible proceeds to do as much damage as possible 😂
The war on drugs will never be won, the only way is decriminalisation. Theres too much dirty money from SA to CA to EU to currently adhere to any kind of laws, so long may the cat and mouse (tiger) continue it will never be won but as long as their seen to make an effort, and the odd bust happens, everyone's happy. :)
The only way to win the drug war is to the government to start providing more help to addicts, as long there are customers the trafficking will never stop.
