Starting from field work carried out for several years and a particular ethnographic exercise amid a coca crop where the leaf was collected and processed. A series of reflections are elaborated, discussing the role of the Colombian State, that regarding a problem of social characteristics, it offers a criminal treatment. This article offers a series of contextual elements that can contribute to the consolidation of the aforementioned argument: the so-called “illicit crops” are a social problem that involves farmers, non criminals.
