Abstract

The issue of coca has entered again, in recent years, to the forefront of public attention and administrative-police controversy, due to the gigantic and, apparently, impregnable illicit traffic of the drug extracted from this leaf. Previously, in the 40s and 50s of this century, coca had been the subject of medical-scientific dissertations and resounding pronouncements about the pernicious effects of the habit of chewing the leaf, typical of Andean peasants. The book that caused the greatest stir then, due to its exclusive abolitionist thesis, was that of the authors Carlos Gutiérrez Noriega and Vicente Zapata Ortiz (1947).
