I came into a small personal supply of coca leaves recently and have been experimenting with various ROA's and preparations, and I believe I have found one of the best ways (for me personally) to enjoy a good, strong coca buzz. The key really is getting your blood flowing, which quite honestly I find to be the key to getting most drugs to work to their full potential. Especially stimulants. Coca is probably one of the best 'motivators' to work out and actually be healthy. How? Here's my experience:

Like I said I've been messing around with coca leaf and trying to get a good speedy, euphoric buzz from it. I've had little luck, but a little bit of luck was enough to keep me interested! Today was a lazy Sunday, it has been a long weekend already, I barely got any sleep at all last night, and ironically enough, a friend I was hanging out with last night offered me some cocaine. It would be terribly rude to refuse, right? %) So, for the next few hours, we each did a little key bump of what I decided to be some of the best cocaine I've ever experienced. Most of the time, no, ALL of the time when I do cocaine, it any capacity, it's NEVER euphoric and simply makes me anxious. Why I keep doing it when it's offered to me? Not sure. So anyway, after a couple bumps, several shots of whiskey, and several bowls of cannabis, I was sitting on a couch and realized I was able to completely isolate the effects of the cocaine and it felt absolutely fantastic. It was reminiscent of the afterglow of an awesome molly roll, but as expected, every 30 minutes or so it would wear off and we'd be looking for more.

Having said that, the feeling of what a good coke high feels like is now fresh in my memory. So, today being a lazy absolutely-nothing-to-do-Sunday, I decided it would be a splendid idea to chew on coca leaves all day long. Perhaps I could try to achieve that same high I had last night from the powder? I kick off the party with 5 grams and baking soda packed into my gums, and I jump in the shower.

About 5 minutes later, my gums are numb and I feel the tell tale coca leaf alerts, like a slight increase in heart rate, a subtle warm glow in the chest region, a slight but bearable anxiety, and a decrease in skin sensitivity. I also notice colors and lights get very slightly brighter and more saturated, similar to the very first visual effects of a mushroom trip, without the 3D-ness, if that makes any sense at all. :p What's different about coca leaf and cocaine is that on coke, I would get lovely rushes of euphoria and this strong urge to talk to my friends, even if I had nothing important or relevant to say, not to mention finger tapping, head bopping, not quite SPEEDY but definitely stimulated. Coca, on the other hand, it is far more relaxing and calming, borderline sedating, but regardless it's far from euphoric and all effects are very subtle. I decide to run a small experiment:

I'm going to eat a good meal, drink a whole bunch of water, and take a couple shots of whiskey. Then I pack my gums with 5 grams of leaves and baking soda, and I set out for a power walk. I begin by heading straight uphill and I try to walk almost as hard as I can. Basically speedwalking, trying to get my heart rate and blood pressure up naturally. Within 5 or 10 minutes of doing thing I feel a strong onset of stimulating, yet still relaxing coca effects. My entire face is numb, my walking is perfectly rhythmic, I keep getting rushes of anxiety, but then a euphoria comes and chases it away, only for slightly less anxiety to return, then more euphoria, then, even less anxiety, more euphoria, etc.. Eventually, I had a fairly pleasant buzz going, still nothing too intense, but strong enough to feel and enjoy. I power walk for a while until I arrive back home about 30 mins after originally setting out. As soon as I get home I decide I'm going to get the most out of this, so I put back another big shot of whiskey, I smoke a bowl of cannabis and I pack my lip with another 3g of leaf, I put on some good house music and I sit back in my chair...



The next thing I know I'm feeling nearly identical, just-as-intense, still more relaxing, huge rushes of euphoria, well-being, comfort, and just....ahhhhh...... I could feel my brain pulsing with my heart beat, and with every pulse a small rush of euphoria would spill over my head, very similar to a good MDMA roll. It didn't last very long, 10 minutes tops until my body calmed down from the power walk, then it was simply just a comfortable subtle buzz between the coca, cannabis and whiskey. The were some friends in the basement when I arrived home, and I noticed I had no desire to go socialize with them, which is surprising judging from how euphoric and stimulated I just felt. Then I just remembered how little sleep I got last night, how tired I probably should be, how awake I currently am, and figured the coca is probably working even better than I think!!

So, all in all, chewing coca is a subtle, pleasant pass time that will provide VERY subtle, borderline placebo psychological effects. However, if you use coca when you are taking part in physical activity like working out, hiking, jogging, dancing, manual labor, chewing coca will work better and better and better for you depending on how hard YOU work, so it provides a sort of instant-reward system for being healthy and being active!! =D Seeing how tonight's results were so great, I've never been so compelled to start jogging on a regular basis in the morning than I am right now!! Down some kratom, pop in 5g or so of coca leaves and head out for a jog, and within 5 minutes I will probably be in a tsunami of endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline, on top of just plain ol' feelin' good about being healthy....if that's not an incentive to get off my lazy stoner ass to exercise and be more active, then I don't know what is!

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a positive drug experience. Not only did I get enjoyable, pleasurable, calming effects, but now I'm also quite motivated to begin exercising daily!


Thanks for reading!!

I think there is something very phenomenal about coca leaves, and I wish there were more open minds about it for further scientific research.
Unfortunately it does not get the same type of praise that marijuana does, which prevents any future studies from being developed.
Thank you for sharing your story.

What's your general opinion on stimulants and working out.

I've often used the ephedrine/caffeine stack.

Put it this way: I never work out, ever, it's nearly impossible for me to find the motivation. I've tried copious amounts of caffeine, ephedrine and coca, but only one of them makes me consider a daily work out regimen.
 
Good report! I've tried coca in various preparations--as a tea, chewed w/ baking soda and sprinkled on foods like pizza. Overall, it's a very mild, innocuous substance that produces far less stimulation than yerba mate or coffee IMO. It's almost sedating sometimes...very unlike pure cocaine. There is absolutely NO reason for coca leaves to be a Schedule I substance (cocaine is Schedule II, go figure!). Props to Evo Morales for igniting the current pro-coca movement in Bolivia!!!!
 
I've come to enjoy chewing coca FAR more than snorting cocaine. It's much smoother, more complete and clean feeling and virtually no "come down". Longer lasting too, especially if you swallow some and drink alcohol between chews. I tried something last night and it almost knocked my socks off with an MDMA-like buzz for a while. I was getting ready for a night out, so I chewed 5g of coca and swallowed some of it, ate a sandwich, threw some kratom down the hatch, took a shot of whiskey, popped in a new 5g coca, again swallowed most of the juice, spit out most of the leaves, another shot of whiskey and a hit of cannabis. Suddenly I had this feeling that I can only compare with taking molly. Basically, if I had dropped a cap of molly an hour before this, at that very moment I would've exclaimed to my cohorts "Yep, rollin' now!!" I started yapping my girlfriend's ear off, feel extremely happy and positive, strong, awake, alive, electric, and this feeling lasted for a good hour and slowly faded into the alcohol buzz that ensued once we were out at the show. Got extremely drunk last night, woke up this morning feeling FAR better than normal as if I was still high or something.

I'm starting to really love coca!! However I'm also starting to learn it's not a great idea to chew if you're tied to a desk at work or something. The chewing part is fun, but the stimulation is almost too much and I get anxious because I can't go do something active and expel the energy. It really does pack a nice kick!
 
Anyone else ever make "Coca Chew"? I've used it strictly for alone or outdoor use, just like I'd use chewing tobacco, if I did. Anyways, you just put 50 - 100 coca tea bags in a pot of boiling water for 30 minutes, strain, then boil the tea down to resin. Then just cut open a few coca tea bags, pour in some baking soda or lime (to aid in absorption) and mix the whole mess together using your best judgment (I used to just dump everything into the tea when the level started getting low). You may want to pound the coca leaves or put them dry into a blender to make the texture finer before you mix. It's a way to get more of a kick out of chewing the leaves by mixing them with a simple water extract resin. Put it in a chewing tobacco tin and you're good to go. I suppose you could get fancy and add flavor, but for me the taste and the numbing sensation alone makes for a pleasant pick-me-up when outdoors.
 
I don't make a chew int he sense that you described, but I do simply take anywhere from 3-7 tea bags, empty them into a cup, add a little baking soda, pour it into my mouth, and chew it for the next hour. The result is a VERY numb mouth and a pleasant, subtle but noticeable lift in wakefulness and mood. The effect is especially pleasant when the user already has a moderate level of alcohol already present in their bloodstream. If you chew coca leaves after having had several drinks (as I am as I post this :) ) the result is a far more euphoric, noticeably effective and pleasant stimulation that will simply keep you awake and occupied into the wee hours of the morning until you finally decide to stop chewing and go to bed.

Granted the effect of chewing coca is very subtle, and I'd never go as far as calling it a high, it's still effective and pleasant. I find it has a similar draw to nicotine, in the sense that I keep craving more and I don't really know why. For example, I hate cigarettes, they taste disgusting, they smell disgusting, and they make me nauseous and anxious when I smoke them, and yet...for some reason, I will continue to smoke them. Same goes for cocaine, I never get a very pleasant effect from it, however I always get a nasty comedown effect and always feel shitty the next day and always get a stuffed-up nose...however again, I'll still continue to use it when it's around. I notice a very similar, albeit far less intense effect from chewing coca leaves.
 
^I made the chew because it's a little more discrete than having 7 tea bags worth of leaves in my mouth. The thought of trying to talk and spitting little green leaves in people's faces and having them all stuck around my lips and chin or breathing them into my lungs was a keen motivator.

Hehe, I agree, I do wish chewing coca was able to be done in a more socially acceptable manner. I have made a habit of chewing coca as I get ready and as I drive to where ever it is I'm going to hang out, and spit it all out into a cup before I get out of my car, pop in some gum, and enjoy the ride!

I tried several different preparations in the spirit of Vin Mariani, all of which gave inconsistent results.
