Why is cocaine bad for you, but raw, natural coca leaf is not?
In: Chemistry
Went to college with a girl from Peru. Her village was at the base of a tall mountain popular with scientists, they had weather equipment at the top. Periodically Americans would arrive and hire locals to help them hike up to replace batteries or whatever. They usually refused the coca leaves the locals offered them, and paid the price on the hike up. The scientists who chewed the leaves did much better.
