Purpose In the past decade, there has been an increase in the number of people facing criminal proceedings related to the traditional use of the coca leaf in Spain. The profile of the defendants, in general, is similar: a migrant person, coming from a country where the traditional and cultural use of the coca leaf is widespread and legal, with few resources and contacts in Spain, and with little knowledge of the criminal justice system. The penalty requests they face are disproportionate, taking into account that they usually involve small quantities of leaves, intended for personal and traditional use. For a decade, the NGO International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research, and Service (ICEERS) has offered support to the legal defence of people facing charges for the traditional use of the coca leaf. This paper aims to offer a general overview and analysis of this work, within the framework of which the authors have deployed various arguments for the defence: the historical error represented by the international (and national) prohibition of the coca leaf, the frictions with the rights of migrants, as well as the questioning of the toxicological analysis methods that accompany the opening of these procedures. Design/methodology/approach This work is based on the analysis of the information contained in ICEERS’ database and the rulings of both the first instance courts and the Supreme Court. It includes, among other issues, the characteristics of these cases and some trends that the authors have identified. Based on this, some recommendations are offered for better political and judicial management of this social phenomenon. Findings The efforts by the authors have made possible the considerable reduction of some sentences, as well as greater understanding by justice system operators about the phenomenon of coca leaf traditional uses beyond native contexts. However, it is necessary to complement this work with a more political and international strategy within the debates on drug policy reform. Along with a review of the scientific evidence by the WHO, which adjusts the international control of coca leaf to the reality of the knowledge currently available, greater dialogue with affected communities and the involvement of governments of the countries of origin of the defendants are essential. This could be achieved through the involvement of the consulates or representatives of these communities in Spain, as well as by opening a space in the bilateral agendas. Finally, there is an urgent need for recognition by the international community that the traditional uses of psychoactive plants are no longer limited to certain geographies or populations, but are part of the collective knowledge of an interconnected world. Originality/value This paper is based on the authors’ own experience of more than ten years accompanying the defence of these type of cases.

Objetivo Determinar si la masticación de la hoja de coca es un factor de riesgo para la salud bucal. Método Estudio de casos y controles desarrollado en el centro de salud Paucará, Huancavelica (Perú), en el año 2019. La muestra estuvo conformada por 200 participantes, divididos en dos grupos: 100 consumidores de hoja de coca y 100 no consumidores. Para evaluar la salud bucal, se empleó un instrumento validado por cinco expertos, el cual tuvo en cuenta tres puntos: articulación temporomandibular, cavidad oral y características de la masticación de la hoja de coca. Resultados En la población estudiada se identificó que el género femenino es el mayor consumidor de la hoja de coca. Además, se observó que dicho consumo no produce desgaste, fractura o movilidad dentaria; sin embargo, genera alteración de la encía (OR:42,67). Según la evaluación del dolor muscular, se pudo observar que la masticación de la hoja de coca afectó significativamente al músculo masetero, inserción derecha, en comparación con aquellos individuos que no practican esta actividad (OR:17,47). Por otra parte, se encontró que los movimientos mandibulares alterados y los ruidos articulares en ambos grupos no se asocian con alteración de la articulación temporomandibular. Conclusión La masticación de la hoja de coca afecta significativamente la encía y el músculo masetero inserción derecha, en comparación con no masticarla.
