Bolivia seeks to end the international ban on coca leaf; Promotes new drink Coca-Based Soft
Bolivia may request an international conference on coca leaf because the United States, Britain and Sweden continue to support a ban on practice.This is part of a new effort by Bolivian President Evo Morales for international legitimacy to the chewing of coca leaves. The practice is a passion.Bolivia Bolivia proposed an amendment to the United Nations 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which has banned Coke. The amendment was to delete the prohibition of coca leaf chewing. Initially, six nations against removing the ban, but three withdrew their opposition.Maria, Larsson of Sweden minister for children and the elderly, said the Bolivian proposal "poses a serious risk of becoming a political precedent that contravenes international regulations for the fight against drugs. "Once again, the old traditions meet modern manners head on.Chewing coca leaves is supposed to be a mild stimulant, much like the leaves of khat are in Yemen. Chewing the leaves at once met with opposition from other, mainly Western, countries. Fortunately, the Western countries have not yet intervened to stop the use of another mild stimulant - a beer pub.Much of opposition to the coca leaf is the fact that it can be manufactured cocaine. Bolivia wants the world to separate the coca leaf of the coca leaf cocaine.The has a much more powerful religious and cultural significance for Bolivians, but they do not ask that coca is removed from the list of banned substances. Bolivia maintains that it will continue to crack down on illicit manufacture of cocaine. "Coca leaf chewing is a tradition and a cultural practice that must be respected", Pablo Solon, Bolivia said.Again UN ambassador, said that the war against drugs has failed, not just the U.S. but also internationally, which costs billions and billions of dollars and led to violence and social disturbances in Mexico.Instead to focus on property crimes and violence, the world seems to use its resources to prevent people from getting high, even a little higher than in chewing.As coca leaves marijuana, the medicinal properties of coca leaves are put aside because people feel good. For example, coca leaves have been used to suppress hunger, aid in distress and gastrointestinal fatigue.Bolivia fight against the action is a small step that it is very surprising that Sweden, Great Britain and the United States thinks it is a threat to the whole war on drugs. Whatever happens, Bolivia is not retreat. Last month, the government encouraged the creation of a private company "Coca Brynco." This is a soft drink Coca-based. Probably along the line of a mild intoxicant like beer, it has a less appetizing green color it.For more madness in government, see Foolocracy.com.
