No es una droga
es una planta sagrada
la quieren convertir en demonio

The Peruvian government says it has suspended coca eradication efforts in an area where much coca is grown.
Head of the Peruvian president’s anti-narcotics efforts Ricardo Soberon said the new government would halt eradication in Huallaga while it re-evaluated the programme.
He said previous eradication efforts had had little effect.
Analysts said the move raised concerns about Peru’s commitment to the fight against illegal coca production.
Peru’s President Ollanta Humala, who came to office on 28 July, spoke in his election manifesto of decriminalising coca farmers and even the low-level cocaine processors and smugglers.
