Social and political criticisms
Time Magazine | 2007
Bolivian Pres. Evo Morales suggests the legalization of coca based products like cocoa tea, cookies, wines, shampoo. No it is not processed into cocaine. It was suggested that it could be done because Coca Cola uses coca leaves to flavor its product. It is the only product/export of coca allowed by UN.
Morales has promised Bolivians to ask UN to remove Coca from list of prohibited exports.
Such use of coca leaves is being done in small scale. Such suggestion of legalizing the export has been broadcasted today at Al Jazeera
