    This is why the regime change.I remember in school they use to tell us coca leave were used strictly for cocaine.That our government was trying to get them to farm other plants.

    This is typical. Take a natural plant in its natural state and it is good for you but then people turn it into a drug ><

    Some of these countries also NEED coca leaves because they may live in countries of a higher altitude.. the leaves help their lungs breath faster in thinner air. #themoreyouknow
