Coca leaves have been consumed for thousands of years

Used as an appetite suppressant, as an energizer or as a medicine in South America, coca leaves are not just for making cocaine.

    If only there was a parallel with another plant we could use as comparison to see if criminalizing it would work... or if our perception of the risks of the plant were based on fact or fear... hmmmm....
