The Summit of the Americas meeting in Colombia in mid-April will consider legalization and decriminalization as a solution to the violence, corruption, and lawlessness.
The coca plant is used by indigenous people for their own sacred reasons, whether spiritual, health, or enjoyment.

Curbing drug demand, not by force, but by education and health policies. Jails are not the answer to health issues.
End the violence, starting with the governments.
