Article of gringo Murdered in Medellin
Here is the local newspaper report for Noah Goldberg:

You have to be careful about what kind of business your in when you are in Colombia. Generally speaking people that are low key don't have problems here. I have a lot of friends that like Noah and spent alot of time hanging out with him.
Regardless of why it happened I still feel bad for him.

My guess is they will move to another travesty like more human smuggling, organ sales, bootleg products, immigration fraud. Kidnapping, insurance fraud. Anything to make money fast and illegal.

Drugsperfect pussy.
I am still in the drug / alcohol business. I own a rehab even though some of my views are not typical. Marijuana should be legalized, IMHO, not cocaine, heroin and the "harder" drugs. In the 70's you couldn't miss all the bales being dropped from planes / boats. It became nasty in the late 70's / early 80's when cocaine became the smugglers drug of choice. For me alcohol sucks, it is often courage water, was for me and you see it along with harder drugs destroying too many lives. There are, of course, both sides of the arguement. On some you tend to harm others, some you do not. Drug / alcohol abuse is one of the reasons for being an asshole, not an excuse to be one. Originally Posted by HelpRules

Truth is any jitterbug can buy a gun in the US or Colombia and become a self appointed gangster to take your life, didn't used to be so easy, ala organized crime. Today it is bigger, only it is disorganized crime. And then there are the adrenaline junkies, ahhhhhhhh, maybe that is why I chase the elusive perfect pussy.

My answers
1) For price, there will be marginal or no difference since the government will tax drugs to raise the revenue and discourage consumptions.
2) A calculation of net benefit would be impossible. Not sure if the society will be destroyed, but a legalization of drugs will increase the drug users overall excluding you and a similar few. So for the benefit side, there will be increased govtl revenue, more freedom on drugs, increased corporate revenues, and decreased govtl spending for drug enforcement. For cost side, more public / private spending for drug addicts.

Locogringo, I have a question about the drug biz. With all the killings in the US and mexico over the drug trade, and this drug war that is never ending, what do you think would happen to society if weed, cocaine and ectasy were legalized in the US at every pharmacy in america. Allow the big drug companies to make it and sell it. I am for it, but I had a discussion with this guy who said if we did the whole society would break down and everyone would use. I don't buy it. I don't smoke and rarely drink. Those drugs are legal. Don't you think it would be a net positive. Also, what do you think would happen to the price if it were legal.

Life can be dangerous
Many are killed every week in south Florida when they deal in drugs / putas, it also happens in Colombia. Why do men that would never venture into drug / puta areas in the US head to them in Colombia? Ah, denial and excitement, it has gotten some of us into some nasty situations and unfortunately will again. I read about all the "smart" guys in Colombia and how they put down the new guys and am thankful for some true backup in rough times in my life. I do not do well in pissing contests, too old to play that game I guess, sure it is not because I have gotten smarter. I live the drug life before many of today's mongers were born and except for a few beatings and some prison time I was lucky, got out in the early 80's.
Bar name? Ho's R Us, or what I want to name one in Cartagena, Puto's

I can't express how shocked and saddened I am by this hideous news. I employed MP's services for two days earlier this month on my first trip to the city of eternal spring, missing the second day due to sheer exhaustion on my part, stemming from the fact that I arrived in Medellin completely exhausted in the first place. The one day I spent with MP, christ, his name was Noah, was an absolute hoot, one of the best days I have ever had while traveling the world. It was a true learning experience, indeed, and the party Noah arranged for me later that night at my apartment was fabulous. He introduced me to one of the hottest and coolest ladies I have ever met, and I ended up "wifing up" with her for the rest of my trip. He deserves a ton of credit for making my first trip to this fabulous city a complete success. I've been a little hesitant writing a trip report because I essentially spent the bulk of my trip somewhat successfully fighting off a cold and wifing up with one lady only. If it weren't for Noah, my vacation might have ultimately turned into a disaster. I'm in very good shape and in very good health, but I hit Medellin completely wiped out and sleep-deprived from trying to get enough stuff done at work to not feel guilty taking over a week off.
Despite how I felt, I did manage to learn the Metro on my own and see some of the city on my own. Nonetheless, I emailed Noah just a few days ago to book his services for three additional days on my return trip in late October. Yes, he definitely impressed me as a "brujo loco" and a gregarious "wild man", but I enjoyed his spirit and enjoyed his company. I am truly bummed!

I talked to him on facebook and wanted to hire him until his rate went up from 100k to 160k per day for 4 hours, I really didn't think it was worth it. When I refused his services and even offered 100. 000 COP for the time he wasted with me on facebook, he told me that he will put a moto outside my apartment for reasons best known to him. I really thought he was kidding but now I see it might have been different. I feel sorry for the guy and his girlfriend, hope she can bear her loss.

Medellin paisa, a gringo who cracked the paisa code, he was a witty funny mother fucker we spoke many times about life and Medellin. A real jersey guy. Inside he was a good man. He wanted to be respected and admired like all of us. He was a very intelligent man with good street smarts. Something went wrong maybe not his fault maybe so. He made an impact in alot of positive ways. Enjoy life while we can.

Yes, maybe I only saw one side also, but he was always good to me and to my knowledge he was very protective and adored Monica. I'm pretty sure he didn't have any children and I don't recall him saying much about family in New York.
