Sunday Ramble It struck me this week: I’m living in a region that produces most of the finest plant stimulants in the world — cacao (the basis for chocolate), tobacco, coffee, coca (the basis for cocaine), and ayahuasca. These are being grown in copious amounts within driving distance from Tarapoto. So why would the planet choose this little corner of the world to produce these items? I don’t know if anyone has good answers to that question, but it’s one I’ve been pondering.
