ENCOD deeply regret the passing of Pr. Baldomero Cáceres Santa María
We, as ENCOD, as well as the Regional Board of Directors I Lima and Callao of the College of Psychologists of Peru, deeply regret the passing of Pr. Baldomero Cáceres Santa María (1932–2025), a distinguished psychologist recognized for his outstanding academic career, his research on the coca leaf, and his defense of Andean knowledge.
He was one of the panelist of the “Just Coca 2022” (read presentation below), and delivered the keynote speech at Just Coca Workshop 1 #medicine: Coca leaf in medicine: lege artis on safety & therapeutics for physical & mental health.
He was recognised in Peru and abroad for his academic activism for the decriminalisation of marijuana (Cannabis sativa) and coca leaf (Erythroxylum coca), promoting their medicinal uses, among others.
He leaves behind an invaluable legacy as an educator and researcher.
We express our condolences to his family, colleagues, and friends.
