Slogan on coca leaf T shirts at the bottom of the image translate as "The coca leaf isn't a drug", a reference to the fact that the leaf has been used for many purposes by indigenous people in the Andes for millennia and is sacred to them; and that the leaf in its natural form and cocaine are very different substances. T shirts like these are common in Bolivia and also Peru. The orange T shirt is a play on the Adidas logo.
