The US has "decertified" Bolivia over what it calls a failure to comply with the UN drug control conventions, despite recent data showing the country has achieved an unparalleled decrease in coca cultivation compared to other Andean nations in South America. The decision, while widely expected, was roundly criticized by drug policy experts, who called the move hypocritical given that the US may be in contravention of the Conventions due to legalized marijuana markets in several states.
