It also promotes scientific and historical research on the Coca Leaf and carries out actions to retire the Coca Leaf from the No.1 International List of Illicit Drugs - Convention of Vienna 1961, that considers this plant as a drug and its consumption as drug-addiction. This organization is free of any political affiliation and totally opposed to drug trafficking. Mary Ann Eddowes is a Board member.
