Bolivia Lanza Nueva Estrategia Antidrogas (The End Of Zero Coca)
The same day the US drugczar arrives....Ha!

http://www.prensa.com/hoy/mundo/1568039.html


LA PAZ, Bolivia (DPA).—El gobierno boliviano pondrá en marcha una Estrategia Integral de Lucha Contra el Narcotráfico, basada no en la erradicación de cultivos, como hasta ahora, sino en el desarrollo alternativo.

La estrategia, cuya presentación coincide con el inicio este jueves de una visita a Bolivia del "zar" antidrogas de Estados Unidos, Robert Charles, desiste de la idea de "coca cero" y apunta a dotar de sostenibilidad a los programas, según anticipó el ministro de Agricultura, Diego Montenegro.

1. Then what?
So what will they do with the cocaine that is cultivated "alternatively." What market is there for cocaine? I don't support much of what the US does in Latin America and South America, especially in reference to the drugs. More needs to be done here to help the addicts, but again, what does Bolivia plan on doing if they are not shutting down the coca farms?

2. Welcome to DU Maestro, your language suggests you buy some propaganda

coca is cultivated and has been for thousands of years.

Funny that the locals never had a problem with it, no?

On edit: Coca is about the same as coffee.
