Cocoa Leaf
The plant is sacred to indigenous peoples in the andes. They chew dried leaves with a bit of some alkaline substance, which can be roasted sea shells or ashes of plants,. And they hold it in their mouth and swallow the juices. It kind of combines the uses of coffee and chewing gum an our culture. Have you tried that? If you choos, oh, yes. I've used it many minus. Ah, it just seems to me so silly that we don't have access to this. The way that that plant has been suppressed and maligned and persecuted, i think it's everything that's wrong with the way that we've approached these natural substances.
