Bolivian President Evo Morales considers that the US anti-drug policy eventually leads to a rise in drug trafficking, Xinhua reported.

"By what morality does the U.S. certify (the anti-drug policy) of other countries, when its cocaine consumption is at 1.6 percent, while the global average is 0.4 percent?" questioned Morales on his official Twitter account. 

He also alleged that the regions where the U.S. has military bases or where the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has operations see a rise in drug trafficking, corruption and violent crime.

The president blasted the U.S. government "for using the war on drugs to intervene in other countries and for taking no action to reduce drug consumption among the population."
