And the Old Indian Women that educated me about plants</b><br /><br />There is a good Bush, the Coca Bush.<br /><br />When I was a kid some very old Andean Indian Women told me that they never thought in their childhood of the Coca Plant as being evil or negative.<br /><br />Everybody and his aunt had coca plants in the interior patios or the exterior backyards.<br /><br />The coca bushes were thought of as medicinal plants for stomach aches, headaches, backpains, sore throats, etc ...<br /><br />And these very old ladies told me that when an old indian was in a terminal disease, then chewing coca was the best against pain and desperation of death.<br /><br />And that old indians became embalmed in life, very peacefully, and had tranquil and calmed deaths. Corpses were incorruptible after this process. All insects dislike the coca bush, perhaps this is a thing of defensive evolution of plants.<br /><br />NOTE : I am not defending COCAINE, which is another matter that I abhor. COCAINE makes a lot of damage to a body, same for CRACK, and other garbage.<br /><br />I do not defend a FREE MARKET for drugs. Repression is OK for me. And I am not a Big Narco or Drug Trafficker.<br /><br /><a href="http://raciality.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Raciality.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.com
