Maybe not a reliable source for unbiased encyclopedic information? Is this propaganda is that allowed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.86.4 (talk) 06:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This map is hard to read for red-green color-blind people (i.e. myself), which may affect a large proportion of readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuickEncyclopedia (talk • contribs) 05:38, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inverted legends?[edit]

I tend to believe that the legends on this graph are inverted, i.e. 'coca' and 'opium poppy' refer to growing area, weheras 'cocaine' and 'opiates' rfer to durgs and traffic routes? Anyone to confirm?

I don't see how you figure that? The black dots are definitely where the coca production centers are and the orangeish dots are definitely where opium is grown. The red and green lines look like the trafficking routes to me.jlcoving (talk) 18:26, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree jlcoving; what I mean is that the naming of the things underneath is inverted. "opium poppy" and "coca" are the "vegetal sources", i.e. the things that grow, whereas "opiates" and "cocaine" are the products, i.e. the things that are trafficked along the trafficking routes. You don't grow cocaine, you grow coca. You don't traffic coca; you traffic cocaine..Making sense? Sorry if my initial wording was ambiguous.--MarmotteNZ (talk) 01:27, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok, now I see what you mean. Yeah that is definitely not right. If I change the things around will it still let me upload under this name as a replacement? I uploaded the original file.jlcoving (talk) 21:57, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-) I don't have a clue, I am really a newbie here--MarmotteNZ (talk) 23:19, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did the change. I declared the same copyleft license for the edit...but I am not sure if I can do that not being myslef an US Gvt staff.--MarmotteiNoZ 10:42, 21 September 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarmotteNZ (talk • contribs)

Additional routes[edit]

There should be a line going from Florida to the northeastern US for opiates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.209.114.84 (talk) 23:43, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
