Why wouldn't you chew coca leaves? It's THE GOVERNMENT OF THE US that demonized it and for the sole reason of turning a beautiful plant into a demon specifically for THEIR OWN PEOFIT. Funny how millions and millions of people chew the stuff with no incident whatsoever and, in fact, it could be considered the oft-spoken about "soma" that Huxley was referring to. And especially ironic that they flipped this perfect plant into a substance that ruins lives all day every day (comment if you DON'T know a crackhead or ten in your daily life) but practically never KILLS anyone. Wow. How convenient, right? That CIA
