The third leading cause o…

DPA report... Report Criticizes Governments Over Consumption of Coca Leaf Wednesday, March 5, 2008 In a culturally insensitive and irrational move, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) has called for the governments of Bolivia and Peru to abolish all uses of the coca leaf, including coca leaf chewing.

Coca leaf is widely consumed in both countries, both as a part of dai…
