I was wondering has anyone had any experience with coca-tea?Fot those that don't a small amount know coca leaves were used in the soda coca-cola when it originally came out.--I was wondering after reading about coca tea if it can be helpful for depression or anxiety.--Please note I am NOT talking about any type of recreational drug use.Coca tea as far as I know is legal in many countries including the US.In addition I read it's widely used in Peru by many people--one of its benefits is a feeling of well-being.What do you think about coca-tea?

Correcting a typo.--For those that don't know a small amount of coca-leaves were used in the soda coca-cola when it originally came out.--

Odon wonder if people were depressed when coke had the real coco leaf in it? Gee that would make a good study. Don't the peruvians still chew on the leaves when collecting them? Phillipa

Yes they do and they make coca tea. Friends brought some back for me. It had no descernable effect whatsoever. I don't think any coca product is an AD. It does enhance energy but I think it's downsides far outweight any benefit.

It's still used, according to a lot of sources by a de-cocaining process by the only allowed importer of food grade coca which is Stepan in Maywood, New Jersey.
Its "sanitized" and sent to Coca Cola.

Imagine working people like us (on our drugs) to death for 200 years in the silver mines.
It wouldn't be worth it.
You'd replace your labour force and reorganise their drugs.

Just some info,YES you wanna get whats called hermate tea,or something.
There is coke,but not enough to cause a roaring and is totaly leagal.
I have used it extensivly at point,what i noticed is it helped with late night studying
Also the herba store,which is linked from headweb sells their coca tead for very cheap and u get like a hundred.
Like i said feeling is mild,i would use 3 bags at a time,but i remeber i was able to do hard core studying with it,think i might order some as well.Coca is fine,its the illegaly processed coke that is the dirty illegal coke

I drank tons when I was in Bolivia---mainly cause it got cold at night. however, the urge to try and snort some did occur to me--but didn't they had huge baskets of coca leaves at the markets---but I think they said you mixed it with lime? and chewed it like tobacoo.Never felt a thing. anyone else?
