Anyone who reads/reply's to know what that stuff tastes like? Is it even any good? I'd probably try it if I was up in that area. The guys on Top Gear did. I'd guess like a lot of things it has a lot to do with what it's mixed with, and how it's prepared.

I had the opportunity to go to Peru a few years back. We were told about Coca leaves and their medicinal properties. I had a nice ,heaping serving of the leaves in my tea every morning. I never felt altitude sickness and it gave me a nice caffeine-like buzz. I just don't get how taboo these leaves are.

You sensationalist assholes.

So, the Pope just drank a cup of HIGH-land tea, which may contain something similar to marijuana?
-
Used to be used in Coca-cola... those were the days.

It curbs appetite, Coca plant leaves needs to be legal in the usa for all the fat ass people, to eat since they cant put the fork down.
