How fast does coca tea work?

Cocaine, when chewed as coca leaves, takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect and lasts 30 to 60 minutes with effects on the central nervous system lasting an average of 90 minutes.

A typical dose of coca tea usually contains around 10-50 milligrams of cocaine, so the effects of coca tea are generally much milder than those of cocaine. The drug is known to have a calming and slightly stimulating effect, and it is often used to relieve fatigue and altitude sickness.

Coca tea is technically illegal in the United States, although the leaves and tea bags do still show up in import stores and online. It is legal to import up to 1 kilo of coca leaves into the United States, provided they are for ''medicinal or scientific'' use.
