I actually acquired Coca leaf to make a tea that I assumed would be far better than Coffee, but man was I in for a surprise as I didn't know I would discover why Coca leaf is about as illegal as Cocaine itself in a most excellent way.

The first day I drank the tea I made with a good bit of leaves (made a dark, amber colored solution) was on this Thanksgiving after I ate my dinner. As I suspected, the tea proved to be far better than Caffeine containing beverages. It was better than Guarana and Ephedra as well. However, I didn't experience anything too awesome. Just some warm stimulation and some social ambition.

It wasn't until I started chewing the leaves that I really uncovered the magic of Coca leaf. My method of chewing was just like Tobacco chew. I placed a good bit of leaf in my cheek, and chewed it, letting the juice soak into the membranes in my mouth. The taste was very good and very much like that of Cocaine, without the solvent taste. It was pleasant and numbing. The numbing started at about three to five minutes after chewing the leaf. It was quite a good sensation.

Right after I noticed the numbing taste of the leaf, I started to feel the onset of psychological effects. It was a very pleasant stimulation very similar to that which Cocaine produces, but it was very "clean." It did not feel adulterated with other stimulants like street Cocaine does at times, and it was a very positive experience. I was actually very surprised that not only did it pass up the head buzzing of a Cocaine high, it also produced a very pronounced social effect, as well as moderate to strong euphoria. Again, I was also surprised that the euphoria was intense enough to reach my stomach and chest, producing that feeling of excitement when nothing is really going on to provoke it.

The psychological effects were more noted than those of powdered Cocaine, and the sexual effects were also there. I felt very "in tune" with any positive stimuli. Music even sounded great. My heart-rate did not seem to be elevated, and I didn't experience any type of crash at any time after the effects wore off.

Overall, this is some surprising stuff. I prefer it any day to Cocaine, as I never know what I am going to get when I purchase Cocaine on the street. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is decent, and more than most it is crap. And, like everyone else, I am very critical of the quality of my Cocaine, as once you've had pure stuff, you never forget it and never want to settle for less. With Coca leaf, I always have the best of quality because it is Cocaine in its natural form, the way God intended it to be.

Great report! Very interesting. I spent two weeks in Peru this year and was introduced to the leaf. Loved the tea, really helped w/the altitude sickness. Chewed copius amounts of leaves throughout my stay and equated them with downing a few shots of espresso. Nothing like a coke buzz. Except for that wonderful numbing sensation! ;) Regardless, sounds like you really enjoyed them- good for you! :)
 
innaresting
i knew i should have chewed my tea bags...

my tea report is below
in this forum
 
Nice report dude.

I honestly believe if coca leaves were legal in the States, I wouldn't have any desire for street cocaine (but if the plant was legal, then prices of coke would likely go down, hmmm). The stimulant effect is more effective and much cleaner feeling than caffeine or (nasty) ephedrine. I've read somewhere that chewing coca leaves or drinking coca tea has almost no harm on the body. It's just when taken in excess (cocaine hcl or crack) that it affects the mind and body. Not to mention the random cuts...

That's nice to read, I don't enjoy coke for it's generally disappointing nature and the 'dirty' feeling that comes along with it, so this is a pleasant 'other side of the fence' story.

good work :)
 
Cheers!

Wow, had no idea of the plants effects...
Its odd that this became an illegal snorted/smoked/injected chemical drug only (as cocaine or crack). I guess it has to do with growing conditions and availability, but is there any way to hydroponically grow or grow this plant inside. I have no idea about coca or cocaine really, was never my interest. But I've gotten more into stimulants as times gone by...
 
Don't you have to chew it with something else...something to draw the alkaloids out or something?

I was under the impression that solely chewing the leaves didn't work well. When the Spaniards discovered the Incans chewing the leaf, they didn't know about the something else and therefore it didn't work when they tried chewing it. They inturn looked down on the Incans for doing it because it seemed like a dirty (pointless) habit maintained by savages.
 
^ Yup. Baking soda. It's a nice pick me up, anti-nauseant and appetite-suppressant. My Peruvian guide showed me that you actually suck on the leaves and let them mix w/your saliva, not chew them like I was led to believe.
The people are awesome- i can't wait to go back! :)
 
It is generally chewed with lime. However, I have had great effects without. I can't wait to try it with lime. If the effects are much greater, I may never purchase street Cocaine again!
 
It sucks these are such a pain in the ass to import as they possess alot of medicinal qualities. But if you are looking for a yay substitute (even w/nasty cuts) you'll be unsatisfied, IMHO. But, let us know how it goes! I could be wrong, won't be the first time. :)
 
This is so funny - I have just been offered to try coca tea, and this report seems to have come as a confirmation that I should try it :D

Personally, the few times I indulge in cocaine, I take very small doses over a long period of time. It sounds to me like your description of the leaf's effect is similar to this.

I wonder though, how long would you say the effect lasted? And do you know how much material you have used? (I believe the standard is like 1g of powdered leaf per bag)

Thanks...

EDIT: Oh, one more question: did it produce a crash of any sort like those which come after cocaine?

how much leaf is a dose, how long does it normally last?

What are the dangers of overdose?
 
I don't think you can really compare it to a dose of cocaine and I don't think you can OD.

From what I've read, it gives a great natural feeling, energetic, buzz. People would chew it, and proceed to go on long hikes without food or water. They'd walk twice as far as they would otherwise and would not complain, instead talk delightlfully the whole way. The lightly pleasant euphoria, enhanced by your sudden excitement of energy makes for a good high, one to do the daily grind with a smile on your face and a tireless effort. Damn, I'm high, and I highly recommend reading Dominic Streatfeilds, Cocaine.

I believe you chew a few leaves at a time for a buzz, and I think they'd chew on them throughout the day. I don't believe there to be as much of a crash, but there's not going to be nearly as intense of a cocaine high. I don't recall hearing any dangers from chewing it and it's probably easier on the body than putting coke up your nose.


Of course I'm only going by something I read almost a year ago, so maybe you should wait for one of the people who has actually done it for a better response.:)

Well, it makes sense that all these properties are reported, as this is how the coca leaf was naturally intended to be used most likely. Of course, we being human and all, we mash it up, extract the addictive component of it, snort it into our brains, and wonder why it's addictive. :P
 
omg ive bn wanting 2 try coca leaf 4 sumtime, this report definitely confirms it 2 b an enjoyable experience

It is quite similar to low doses of high grade Cocaine. It isn't quite as intense, but it is immensely enjoyable in my opinion. Everyone that I have let try them has enjoyed them as well, few have as much as myself.

The effects last significantly longer than insufflated Cocaine. It seems to be prolonged slightly by how long you chew the leaves. I would say powdered Cocaine lasts generally around 30min. for me followed by a crash depending on the quality and dose of it that I ingested. The leaves tend to last up to and slightly over an hour at times, yet you can keep it going further by chewing more leaves.

As for the dose, 1g of leaves is not going to do it. I mean, you will likely feel it, but it will be akin to Caffeine at that dose. I normally chew anywhere from a handful to the maximum amount that I can fit in my right cheek at one time. I could measure it the next time I chew them if you'd like. In fact, I am about to chew some in about an hour or so.

For the tea, I normally use alot. The tea ends up being a somewhat dark, amber colored solution. It tastes good with a teaspoon of sugar. It is surprisingly similar to the taste of green tea, but be aware that the effects are not nearly as strong this way. It is more like Caffeine but more "clean," no jitters, and is somewhat more intense. Caffeine doesn't normally produce any euphoria for me, but Coca tea does.

Also, some good news. I have yet to experience anything that even remotely resembles a crash from ingesting any amount of the leaves. I feel as if I haven't even taken anything once they fully wear off. The experience from beginning to end is very pleasant for me.

I know I was maybe slightly overenthusiastic about the experience, but I was very surprised. I'd like to now say that the intensity is not quite up there with insufflated Cocaine. However, the purity of the feeling makes up for the intensity. The euphoria you do get is genuine. It is enough for me to cut my Cocaine use down 80%. I doubt I'll purchase powdered Cocaine all that much while I have the leaves. I suppose I'll only get it when I know there is some "special" stuff going around which is normally $100 per gram/$300 per 1/8th of an ounce.
 
Thanks for the reply, piper :).

Interesting things that can be done with it, I suppose:

- Take the tea rectally ;)

- This one I really would like to know about - leave a good ammount of leaf to macerate in your favourite wine for a few weeks.

If I ever get the chance for working with coca leaves, I'll definitely be trying the above two ideas.
