McKenna Academy - Wisdom of the Leaf Coca Summit

The Wisdom of the Leaf Summit took place in the Sacred Valley of Peru on February 3 - 7, 2025, and was produced in collaboration with Wade Davis. See https://mckenna.academy/mka-programs/wisdom-of-the-leaf-coca-summit/. There were a lot of talks, including from the Vice President and the General Secretary of Bolivia. "Bolivia is working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to reclassify the coca leaf, moving it from Schedule 1 of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. A strong dossier, supported by Colombia and Peru, has been submitted. Independent experts are reviewing the dossier, and the WHO is expected to issue a draft report in June 2024, open for comment. A final report will follow in October, with a final vote in March 2026. "
