Agwa de Bolivia (Coca leaf liquor)

[meerkatmonster]

Just wondering if anyone here has tried this?

Apparently sucking a lime activates the alkaloids which produces a similar buzz to coca tea. Also produces a strong numbing effect I'm told ?

I have a friend who's abroad atm and is bringing me a bottle back as cheap as chips where he is...would be interesting to hear if any of you know weather its worth it or not!

Cheers in advance!

i'm pretty sure they decocaine-ise the leaves. The numbing sensation is one of the other alkaloids in the coca leaf. The company that make the shit say "You will not test positive for cocaine after drinking this". They've added guarena to give it some kick but it's not coca tea. Coca tea would urinate over this from a great height (test positive urine too)

Definately not worth carrying a bottle of the shit back from abroad. Just buy a guarena energy drink from Tesco.

Tried a shot in Amsterdam.. it's decocainised and I noticed no effects other than manky-tasty alcohol. Wouldn't bother. (And I get surprisingly strong effects from the tea. Turns me into a proper bouncy gobshite.)

Coca leaves I very much liked, back in high school one of my class mates had his dad who was a cycling fanatic with a thing for South America, used to go down cycling on the Andes in the middle of the year and come back with huge bags on coca leaves in his suitcase, my mate would just steal huge amounts and bring them to class. Very useful during tests and exams, when mixed with alcohol they get buzzy, I'm talking about putting a handful in your mouth and just chew on them for hours, if you do enough you feel like you're on a low dose of oral amphetamine. If it weren't for the retarded laws, if I could get those leaves at the market I don't think I would have to self-medicate with amps for motivationa and ADD, I would just chew on the leaves all day

Don't you notice a rapid tolerance buildup tho Kenny? Never had the original leaves but coca tea is fantastic the first time you try it - bit within 2 days you can have 100 teabags and barely feel it. I think once a week or maybe once a fortnight is all that works.

Yeah, I tend to have a strong cup of tea and then nom on the leftover leaves.

Can't say I've noticed that, though I don't think I've ever tried it 2 days in a row.
