Home Theater Info Reviews Cocaine Cowboys 2

Friday, June 27th, 2008
In his follow up film, ‘Cocaine Cowboy 2 Hustlin’ With The Godmother’ Corben shows that one of the most ruthless and successful people in the cocaine trade was a woman, Griselda Blanco. She was a bad if not worse than any of her male counterparts and this film chronicles the rise and fall of this most notorious of women. She ruled her drug empire with an iron fist eliminating any and all competition and those that would stand in her way. This is a gripping story that although dark and violent is important to watch. It puts human faces on the drug lords that have been all too long glorified by Hollywood in films like ‘Scarface’ and television series such as ‘Miami Vice’…

Cocaine on US Currency - Myth? Reality?

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Cocaine On Currency

via astm.org

The presence of cocaine on U.S. paper currency collected in many cities in the United States has previously been reported. Currency becomes contaminated during the exchange, storage and use of cocaine. Different currency denominations are also rolled by drug users and used to snort cocaine. Illicit cocaine is widely abused and therefore the contaminated paper currency can be easily found in common use. A total of 18 bills were analyzed in our laboratory for cocaine. Ten $20 bills were randomly collected in Rockford, IL and four $1 bills in Chicago. An additional four uncirculated $1 bills were analyzed as a control group. All bills were extracted with 0.1 M hydrochloric acid followed by solid-phase extraction. Cocaine was identified using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in full scan mode, and drug quantitation was performed in selected ion monitoring mode. A standard curve was prepared and doxepin was used as an internal standard. In addition, for method validation two levels of control solutions were analyzed simultaneously. Precision and accuracy values were within acceptable ranges. Cocaine was present on 92.8% of all bills collected from the general circulation. All $20 bills were contaminated with cocaine and the amount of drug varied from 0.14 to 10.02 mg of cocaine per bill (x = 2.86 mg). Only one $1 bill was cocaine free. In one case ($1 bill), only traces (below quantitation limit) of cocaine were found. All four uncirculated $1 bills were cocaine-free.

Review of CC II: Hustlin’ With the Godmother on Variety

Review of Cocaine Cowboys II

Fresh off the wire is a review found on Variety about Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin’ With The Godmother. The author, Robert Koehler, says in his review that “the wild fusillade of colorful characters and incidents in “Cocaine Cowboys” gets toned down a touch in “Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin’ With the Godmother,” less a sequel than an extended chapter of the previous saga of how Colombian drug lords took over the U.S. cocaine trade in the early 1980s. Director Billy Corben veers from the first film’s panoramic view to a narrower focus on small-time gangbanger Charles Cosby, who has quite a story to tell — and does it extremely well. True-crime fans will make up the docu’s core and during midsummer release through Magnolia’s new Magnet distrib arm…”
