You do know the coca plant on its own is worth nothing right?

Seriously when they land in colombia one of the guys says man do you know how much this *beep* is worth in the states? as he picks up a couple of bushes of coca plant. the coca plant on its own is not a drug and is not expensive at all. its like taking tea leaves in your pocket. what an ignorant moment to add to the movie. just shows how ignorant american producers are about our latin american countries. with the amount of coca he had in his pocket, he could maybe make himself a cup of coca tea which has NO DRUGS at all probably costing around 0.50 US dollars. bunch o *beep*

I think that was supposed to be a joke. Rob Cohen even mentioned in the commentary that the leaves amount to nothing. Next thing you see when it's night time when they try to escape Danny Trejo's character's lair, the same guy has a cocaine pack.

All I need is one mic...

Or maybe they did it on purpose (e.g., to make Xander stand out even more among his new peers).
