Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has admitted to chewing coca leaves, from which cocaine is produced.
Chavez said he received the coca leaves from fellow leader Bolivian President Evo Morales:
I chew coca every day in the morning, and look how I am ... You know the strength that coca gives, I've really grown used to it every day in the morning
Chavez smiled as he thanked Morales for recently sending coca to him and Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Chavez asked for more.
You didn't bring me the coca leaf? ... Where are the coca leaves? I want the leaf that Evo produces there, the pure, pure coca leaf.
Standing up from a table, Morales walked to Chavez and opened a drawstring bag.
Oh, friend, I knew you wouldn't fail me!
Chavez exclaimed, accepting a handful of leaves and putting some in his mouth.
