A few years ago, I had first experienced true Coca Leaf from Peru, and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with it. I had written a conclusive report about it as well, but recently I received my second supply of the leaf, and I have some new observations that I would like to share if I can find the words for some of it.
Like I had the last time, I’ve made tea a few times (sometimes brewed with other complimentary herbs), but mostly, I use the chewing method. Typically, I put a nice wad of leaf in the right side of my cheek, and I chew the leaf slowly, often letting the juices settle under my tongue so as to achieve sublingual absorption of Coca alkaloids.
About three to five minutes after chewing the leaf, the right side of my mouth gets slightly numb, and with further chewing, the numbness intensifies. The onset of effects usually starts at about seven to ten minutes following the chew and is noticed by an accentuation of the senses, especially of sight and hearing. Colors appear sharper and sounds seem more noticeable.
Lately, I have been reading a good bit, so I have been using the leaves as a stimulant for concentration. This is one of the things that brought me to write this report, as the effects seem stronger if I am not physically active while under its influence. I am sure much of this observation is psychological, but nonetheless, I find the euphoric effects more pleasurable in this way.
Depending on the dose (especially with higher doses), there seems to be a feeling of desire right before the peak effect is achieved. This feeling can easily be perceived as a sexual desire if gratification is available, but when I am reading, I usually see it as the infamous “I didn’t use enough” effect. Strangely, this isn’t very strong nor does it last very long before the euphoria overwhelms me.
The peak feeling is difficult to explain in words, as it is far more complex and pleasurable than a general Cocaine high. It doesn’t last but a few minutes, but it feels as though I am completely aware of everything around me, but my body is at a state of extreme peace. There is a fuzzy, numb feeling emanating from every limb, and breathing seems quite easy as if I am aware of the properties of oxygen within my body. As I stated, this peak effect lasts but moments, but is immensely enjoyable. There is no side effect to be noted, nor is there any feeling of further desire as there is with Cocaine abuse.
After this effect, the feeling slowly dissipates into a light euphoric stimulation until I am completely back to baseline with no “crash” or adverse effects. It is certainly useful for reading as well as thinking out problems and physical work, though its complete effect from a single dose doesn’t last more than forty-five minutes following the onset.
One more aspect I wanted to add, is the effect it has had on my recovery of Opiate dependency and drug addiction. Most people who know a good deal about drugs and addiction know that Opiate addiction can come hand in hand with Cocaine addiction, often supplementing one for the other during a period of “trying” to stay clean. I went through this significantly, and strangely enough, I had received my leaves just in time for me not to make that mistake once more in my weakness. They seem to act with Cocaine as a Nicotine patch acts with smoking.
In ending, I stand by comment that I had stated when I first experienced Coca Leaf, that I like the experience better than that of purified Cocaine. In some ways it is not as intense, but in some ways it is far more intense and well balanced, as there are more alkaloids in the leaf than Cocaine.
