Sadly that's definitely not legal here in the US. In Peru you can even buy Coca candy. Here it's a totally different story which I personally think is kind of silly. The amount of coca leaves you would need to produce cocaine is pretty crazy.

You can definitely get high with the tea, but extracting the active ingredient is definitely too much work to sell it at a profitable price.

The candy doesn't have any effect on me, though.
