Why do Evo Morales and the cocalero movement believe that the coca plant should not be eliminated?

Because the coca leaf has traditional and cultural significance for the Aymara and Quechua of the Andes. To them, the coca leaf is a sacred leaf used for ritual and practical purposes (such as making tea to warm the indigenous peasants in the cold Andes, or suppressing hunger when they must go without food). It is also deeply tied to indigenous identity in the Andes, and criminalizing it means discrimination to them. They argue that coca and cocaine are not the same thing, and most of the coca produced in Bolivia is meant to be consumed as coca, and very little of it gets processed into cocaine. They argue that it is unfair to criminalize and eliminate a basic crop of such sacred value to them due to the bad habits of a few. Would you like it if something innocent you and your family have enjoyed all your lives to the point where it has become tradition (Christmas cookies) were to suddenly be criminalized because someone somehow found a way to make drugs out of it?
