If you go to Peru, you can buy coca leaf tea, grown by legitimate companies, sold entirely legally. It's amazing for adjusting to high altitudes, if you ever go to the Andes, I highly recommend you drink the tea.
There's huge illegal growing operations, but there's legal ones. It's not that hard to grow - I think it likes high altitudes and moisture, but although it's not as easy to grow as "weed", I'm pretty sure it's easier than coffee
Not gonna lie I would love to have access to that tea. The powder is great and all but it makes me twitchy and I really only enjoy it on a night out while also drinking. I could see myself using the tea for long work sessions etc.
Is there a high connected to coca tea, or does it have to be refined?
It's all dosage and concentration, like anything really. Cocaine is just a simple extraction from it
You could get high off it, but not on accident... You'd have to put in some leg work
Just chugging that tea.
Yeah, drinking a large amount of liquid is what I'd call "leg work". You can't just do a bump or smoke something, you have to pace your tea intake... Much harder to overdose or go on a bender
Good point!
That's really cool to know! I doubt I'll ever get the opportunity, but it'll be something I try if I ever do!
Is Peru that country where lots of people, even older ones, with physically demanding jobs chew coca leaves before going to work?
Yeah, especially at high altitudes.
I would too... It helps blood flow and is a simulant. Gentler than caffeine too
