Coca Tea

[Hammilton]

A friend got a couple boxes of Coca Tea. He says they taste pretty good, but he doesn't feel a whole lot from either brand. As a quid, though, its different. He doesn't have any lime so he substituted baking soda, which seems to work great. Because the leaves are broken up a lot he puts the entire teabag in his mouth (no pun intended), and wets them before doing so and then sprinkles a little soda on them so it sticks. When he doesn't use soda, there's no numbing, when he does, its pretty extreme.

No matter how he uses it though, theres no discernable 'buzz'- he says he knows know they say it feels like less than caffeine, but this is less than... nothing. It is true though he's never been good at feeling stimulants. It took him a week on Adderal 20mg daily to notice it. Now he can, but oral cocaine is still a mystery.

Anything he can do to make it stronger? Any sort of extractions that might make it fun?

he enjoys it mainly because it's a really healthy tea, but he'd like to enjoy it once, you know?

btw- this is actually one of those few rare instances of it really being a friend. Not that he hasn't let me try some of his tea. I didn't notice anything on it either.

SWIM has tried grinding up 5 or 6 bags of the tea leaves into fine powder, adding a good amount of baking soda, mixing it all with a tiny bit of vodka and water, and holding some of this mess in the mouth until it's absorbed, slowly swallowing it, then taking some more the same way until completely consumed.

This method has proven to SWIM to be very affective, numbing the mouth completely, and allowing for fair effects to be felt within 10 or 15 minutes from the start, and lasting a couple hours. Different brands will be better than others, of course. The ones SWIM had must have been decent because SWIM wasn't expecting much but got quite stimulated from it with 5 bags (although this is the ONLY brand tried, so who knows).

But don't expect coca leaves to do much in general. The amount of actual cocaine present in coca leaves is miniscule, and taking it orally is going to be much different than a snort of pure coke. Coca tea is more like caffeine/coffee than it is like coke. It's okay to mess with just for pure novelty once in a long while, but it's nothing that anyone would get into in any serious way.

Yeah, he knows that. I think he just found it unusual that these people are saying that they feel 'quite stimulated' from a cup of tea or two when he can't get anything. And I'm unexperienced with stimulants in general besides my daily adderall which took a long time before I even noticed anything was different, so I can't try it for him and say, 'yeah, it's working.' I'd have no idea what to expect.

He let my try a cup. It tasted damn good but after three cups I didn't feel anything remotely like caffeine. He was expecting a caffeine-like feel to it (so was I) but there was really nothing at all. I drank it on a day I took my Adderall and still didn't feel anything.

It's a shame it's illegal. I was reading today that the DEA is working to ban foods containing oil from whatever species of cannabis hemp is. I don't think anyone uses oil from my favorite form of cannabis. They're claiming that because some amount of THC is present- even if it's so incredibly miniscule it can't get anyone high. I hate how the DEA feels the need to take these ultra-hardline approaches to everything, as if centrism or practical approaches to real-life problems would inevitably send us careening down a path of nationwide addiction and drug abuse in the streets. They're so politicized. Not republican or democrat. They're just all chemical conservatives. meh.

If nothing else, it really is a great tea. I thought it tasted quite a bit like green tea, but with a fuller taste, earthier with woody and smokey hints. I'm thinking of getting some myself, if I can find it de-cocainized.

While we were sipping he was saying that since he can't feel anything from it he sort of wishes that he got the decocainized version since with his doctor he has the risk of being drug tested; a fear that lingers in the back of his mind, even though he hasn't been yet.

chewing the whole leaves with bakin soda on about mouthful two to three i git a boost decidedly stronger than coffee, thAT is how i bought it whole leaves ur mouth does go numb on first batch though

the leaf can be smoked.

10 grams of leaf swallowed in gatoraid at 9000 feet altitude made me feel a hell of alot better than I was feeling, I am fairly sensative to higher altitudes, and though I lived for years near that altitude, I dont now.
that same 10 grams gave me quite a boost.

even "de cocanized" leaf can contain 1% cocaine I have read.

the leaf is mild compared to other forms of cocaine...but it can be taken in larger doses than one teabag.

I would think an enema of coca tea would/could be very stimulating.

at any rate, that is some sacred leaf, and isnt to be nosed at, it is a real "treat" up here in the northwoods....

I also used coca leaf when consuming yopo snuff....this is similiar to how certian argentinian peoples use the two materials . in the presence of coca, the yopo is much freindlier as far as body load and nausea in concerned in my experience.

comprasperu.com has some amazing products.

nuff said.

You can take leaf or two and put some baking soda in the middle and roll it burrito style chew a little to break down the leaves then suck on a lime and get a nice glow. i usually do that then spit the remainder in a glass that I am having 2-5 margeretas so the alcohol can absorb the rest of the shit. the only problem is sometimes it burns the mouth to the point of not being able to taste things for the next day. But it is a sacred plant that deserves respect

I love tea, and have been fortunate enough to try teas from all over the world. And I must say, this is one that I would definitely like to get my hands on, rush or no. Wish there was a way to get it up here :-(
