It is legal to use, but only in tightly controlled medical use cases, because it is obviously very addictive. Columbia has built an economy around one export and are undermining the tight control of what the medical community knows is needed for such an addictive substance. Decriminalize the abuse of the drug and treat it as a medical condition.
Getting it into the hands of whoever wants it is just another way of being a pharmaceutical company but with extra Columbian steps.
I think every time we talk about specifically why a certain drug is illegal, we should be required to compare it against alcohol and the damage that comes from alcohol and explain why alcohol should be legal but this other drugs should not.

No it isn’t. I can walk into any bar in America and start guzzling the stuff up to my credit limit.
Oh wait. I’m sorry. You were talking about cocaine.
