Cannabis, seen here, and coca leaves (for cocaine production) are grown openly and extensively in these mountains only a few hours from the city of Cali. To help stimulate cannabis production artificial lighting is used during the night for the first two months of cultivation. In the background of this image light bulbs can be seen across the landscape, revealing the vast extent of cannabis production in the area.
