Effects - Thoughts on Coca

[Froster]

Hi, this is my first post outside the Intro forum.

SWIM recently bought some Bolivian Coca Tea from a US vendor. SWIM thought that drinking the tea might provide a buzz similar to that of the low grade cocaine that is prolific in his area.

The tea did not do this, however, the effects present were unexpected, subtle but welcome nonetheless. The tea flavour was not bad, kind of earthy but drinkable. Soon after drinking SWIM felt revitalised, alert and awake. SWIM felt relaxed but not lazy. It was similar to in some ways to a caffeine buzz but without the speedy high a strong coffee gives. Also, there was no crash like SWIM would experience after drinking coffee. SWIM's body didn't feel drained afterwards either and generally felt healthier. Since starting drinking Coca Tea, SWIM hasn't drank any coffee whereas before, SWIM would drink 2 or 3 strong cups a day.

Today, SWIM put 4 grams of coca tea into one empty tea bag with a little bicarb of soda and used a chewing method instead. SWIM noticed considerably stronger effects more similar to the big C. Indeed, SWIM said it was a similar experience to a line of low-grade street cocaine. Indeed, with an average of about 5mg of cocaine in 1 gram of coca tea, 4 grams chewed should in theory be similar to a 100mg line of 20% pure cocaine.
