COCA In Peru, Colombia and Bolivia, the leaves of the Erythroxylon coca plant have traditionally been chewed as a mild stimulant and for a variety of medicinal purposes. As such, they are sold quite legally in street markets. Since coca is also the raw material for cocaine, peasant farmers in remote areas grow it to sell to the illegal drugs trade. Cartels in Cali and Medellín control most of the processing, shipment and distribution of cocaine and retain most of the profits. The cocaine industry brings few benefits to the vast majority of Latin Americans and the power struggle between the drug barons and government is responsible for widespread violence. II

coca

Andean peasants in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador chew coca leaves mixed with bicarbonate of soda to combat cold and tiredness while working. They also make mate de coca, an infusion effective against altitude sickness. Much of the coca grown in the region goes to Colombia and reaches Europe and the US as cocaine. Governments in the region are now under heavy international pressure to stop its cultivation, but coca farmers defend their right to grow it, both for their own use and because it is so profitable
