Reponse to Narcotics coco leafs

If the coco leaf is not causing any harm to their health and it is part of their culture and religion then they shouldn't make it illegal. It is different from weed and cocaine it doesn't harm them and it is part of their traditions and they been doing it for a while now. It shoudln't be banned if the people of that country don't want it to be banned then it shoudn't be banned. If they want to eat a coco leaf and it's not a danger to the health or anything then they should eat it. Ii may cause them not to eat as much becaus eit does not make them hungry but if they want to eat it they should. Making it illegal would send people who don't need to be in jail go to jail and it would just be wasting time for cops and people would still eat it illegal or not so they should just leave it alone. It's also a disrespect to their culture because it is something that is apart of tradition and morals. If they want to continue to eat the coco leafs then they should keep eating it. FREEWILL!!

The miss-use of the plant is causing an up roar!! There abusiong the cultral tradiation of there ancestors, when they sit and socialize chewing the leaves there ancestor chew!!They did not choose to chew these leaves,they were obligated if they wanted to complete there day of work. NOW THE CHEWIN OF COCO LEAVES IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF A PARTY DRUG.
