Coca Farmers Organize

Coca Farmers Organize
Bolivia is one of the top producers of coca leaf, the raw material used to manufacture cocaine. But the coca leaf has been used traditionally in Bolivia for centuries and is used medicinally to relieve the affects of hunger, cold, and altitude and is also a common ingredient in Bolivian tea. The U.S. backed Drug War has declared a campaign of total eradication against the plant. Small farmers producing the leaf are organizing to protect their tradition.
