ABOUT US
When the conquistadors first arrived in South America in the 16th
century, they deemed a certain plant native to this place an 'evil
agent of the devil'. However, after realising one key fact, they
decriminalized and taxed it, taking 10% off the value of each crop.
Later when this plant reached Europe, the drug cocaine was
isolated from it.
Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately
followed by intense depression, edginess and a craving for more
of the drug. It also increases the risk of heart attack, stroke,
seizure or respiratory failure. What caused the conquistadors to
shift from their morals and make this crop legal? This is an
example of how authorities capitalise on the vulnerabilities of
the masses for their benefit.
11

later legalize the plant?

The colonisers realised that the natives were
addicted to coca leaves and were barely able to
labour for them without coca.
