Your in luck since I have extensive experience with this. You want to get maybe 8-14 leaves, and stick em in your mouth to get them wet a bit, then pull them out and gently layer them up with one another, apply some lime (not the fruit, the mineral), ash, or toothpaste. Lime is the traditional way to do it, and imo, the best. Anyways, sprinkle that on the leaves with a good distribution, maybe 100mg of lime or maybe less, like the size of a "bump" of drugs, roll it into a ball, and stick it in your cheek. masticate lightly, turning the quid around and getting plenty of spit on it.
Your mouth will go numb when it is working, and it is a great stimulant, appetite suppressant, anti-nausea remedy, anti-altitude remedy, and a great fortifier.
Ideally, these would be legit leaves from Peru or Bolivia as well. I cannot emphasize what an incredible effect this remedy can have on someone who is ill, tired, physically unfit, etc... even if only temporary. It is not recreational too much, maybe comparable to smoking a cigarette or a cup of coffee, but I love it. I would use it all the time if I had access.
If you can get raw leaf, it would also be worth it to try some tea, which is strangely sedating, but also very enjoyable and beneficial.
