As we know he had done many things in the past as a result, we are knowing for loving drugs. I am not sure about this one, it is because some people do love drugs but, other people just hate it. It depends on the person and the people that treat with. Another one is that Colombia woman are easy. I do not know how to explain this one without using the swearword that foreign use. Foreign thinks that we have the best prostitutes or, that Colombian women look for money, easy money. I am not sure about this one, I guess it depends on the person.
