Columbia’s Vice President says Amy Winehouse should be sent to rehab

Not to many junkies get called out by national dignitaries. According to Columbia’s Vice President Francisco Santos, Amy Winehouse’s use of cocaine is ruining his country and says the troubled singer should be “sent to rehab.”

In an interview with newspaper The UK Sun, Santos says the troubled singer’s drug habit, and those of thousands more British citizens, is laying waste to their nation and ought to understand the damage the drug is doing to his country as well.

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.”"

Meanwhile Winehouse  is still a hot ticket and has recently been confirmed on the bill at the big Glastonbury concert. The troubled singer will perform before headliner JAY-Z on the Pyramid stage on June 28. Speculation is Amy will reappear for a duet with the rapper during his set, if she turns up at all, that is.
