Photographer’s Note
"...this is a green coca leaf, it is not the white of cocaine, this coca leaf represents Andean culture, it is a coca leaf that represents the environment and the hope of our peoples.
It is not possible that the coca leaf is legal for Coca Cola and that the coca leaf is illegal for other medicinal purposes in our country, and in the whole world."
Evo Morales Aima
President of Bolivia
in the General Assembly of the UN,

Ciao Matteo, buffa questa insegna. In Bolivia ho provato un giorno a mangiare un tot di foglie di coca, perche' ero con della gente che ne aveva delle buste della coop piene, ma a parte un sapore orrendo in bocca, proprio niente. Loro la mangiavano come noi le menthos.
ciao Stefano

Interessante esta foto por mostrar que o uso da coca está para além da cocaine sintética. Um negócio como qualquer outro
