    Bolivia has a long cultural history with coca leaves, which have various traditional uses such as improving respiration at high altitudes and suppressing appetite. Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, was elected to three terms based on his support for coca farmers' rights. While other countries pressure Bolivia to stop coca production, Morales works to increase awareness of its cultural significance and argues other nations should address their own drug problems instead of eliminating Bolivian traditions.

    Bolivia – SOCIAL ISSUES

    The Coca leaf and the social question


    By Eloisa
    Fagundes

    The coca leaf is consumed by all people, because Bolivia is a very high
    country. This leaf improves respiration, seasickness, the famous soroche (altitude
    sickness) and has been used in rituals since 2000 bc, also is an appetite suppressant, in
    a country that most of the population work more than 12 hours a day.

    Evo Morales was elected in three mandates, totaling 15 years on the power of
    Plurinacional Bolivia Stades. Native-born in Orinoca, Oruro province, [he] was [a]
    sindical leader of [on] the Coca plantations sections. Juan Evo Morales Ayma was the
    first native president of Bolivia.

    There is a big pressure from other countries for Bolivia to stop producing the
    coca leaf. Evo Morales works about the coca's awareness and in external policies for
    the other coutries to resolve their own problems about drug consume, not eliminating
    the bolivian culture.
