Amy Winehouse's use of cocaine is ruining Columbia, according to the Country's Vice President Francisco Santos, who says the troubled singer should be "sent to rehab" and ought to understand the damage the drug is doing to his country.
In an interview with British newspaper The Sun, Santos says the troubled singer's drug habit � and those of thousands more Brits � is laying waste to their nation.
He says, "I know about her, she�s a mess. I don�t think she understands the harm cocaine does to my country.
"People in the UK think it is a victimless drug � that�s not true. The effect is not just on the individual who takes it.
"Not only does it kill, displace and mutilate people in Colombia, it destroys our wonderful forests. The environmental damage is catastrophic."
And speaking about the video that was published recently of the Grammy Award winner smoking crack cocaine through a glass pipe, Santos -- who is in the UK to raise awareness of the unfolding environmental catastrophe devastating the Colombian rainforests due to Britain�s craving for cocaine -- says , "She needs help, to tell you the truth.
"People who have such problems with crack cocaine � it�s very addictive � need to get help. It�s time to send her into rehab.""
