Morales' approach to the coca issue is that the cocaine problem should be solved on the consumption side, not by eradicating the coca plantations and by sending more military into the coca-growing regions, an act which brought criticism from NGOs such as Human Rights Watch.[11] Along with the gas issue, the promise to push back the U.S. policy of "zero coca", i.e: the forced eradication of coca crops, was central to Morales's presidential campaign. [12]

There is much disagreement between Morales's administration and the United States regarding anti-drug laws and cooperation between the countries, but officials from both countries have expressed a desire to work against drug trafficking, with Sean McCormack from the U.S. State Department reinforcing the support of Bolivian anti-drug policy, and Morales stating "there will be zero cocaine, zero drug trafficking, but not zero coca".
