Is paco a problem in Argentina. I was planning a vacation there, after deciding not to go to Mexico, due to the drug problem there. Is paco as widespread as the drug dealing problem in Mexico?
That is a very hard-hitting documentary. I wasn’t aware that drugs (ie PACO in particular) was so rife and used by kids of such a young age.
It’s so sad to see that drugs can be readily available to these children/teens – we all know how deadly drugs are in general, let alone the damning effect these are having on these lives.
Such a tragic documentary.
With a 3 to 4 year lifespan after starting on Paco — Using that stuff sounds like a death sentence.
awesome…you are really a help..specially to those slums..cause with this information..people would know the reality..and might help those slums!
